For gourmets, there are numerous culinary specialities such as. the typical Franconian wine or regional specialities such as "Schäufele" (roast pork) or "Blaue Zipfel" (sausages cooked in vinegar).

Outdoor activities are varied: hike along the Franconian Marienweg or visit the Steigerwald climbing forest near Ebrach for the adventurous! In winter you can enjoy skiing at the Kreuzbergalm.

If it ever rains, we recommend a visit to the indoor swimming pool in Sand am Main or a tour of the historic old town of Bamberg.

    Schöner Rundweg vorbei am Campingplatz, teilweise im Naturschutzgebiet. Interessant ist auch der Teil mit dem Natur-Erlebnispfad.

    Lange Etappe mit einigen Anstiegen, mit Wochengepäck auf den Rücken sportlich, immer wieder Asphaltpassagen dazwischen, aber insgesamt ok

    Eine sehr schöne Tour mit wenigen Höhenmetern bestens für eine Packtaschentour geeignet. Highlight Vogelburg: Lohnenswerter kulinarischer und aussichtsreicher Abstecher. Zwischen Fahr und Volkach liegt die Vogelburg südlich vom Main in der Nähe von Nordheim. Mit schwerem Gepäck empfiehlt es sich vielleicht die Tour im Uhrzeigersinn zu fahren um unnötige Qualen um den höchsten Punkt der Tour (Gräfenneuses) zu vermeiden.
