Although Franconia is no longer an insider's tip, it is still not as busy as comparable regions. Its nine natural parks, nine spas, 18 climatic health resorts and more than 50 other health resorts attract a regular clientele the year round. 40,000 km of walking trails meandering through verdant valleys, mixed woodlands, breezy heights and past fish-infested lakes and rivers captivate nature lovers and hobby explorers.
Sports lovers too will find all they want in Franconia. The cultural offer is likewise abundant: countless castles and fortifications, museums and festivals leave no time for boredom.
A romantic excursion to Bad Kissingen or famous Rothenburg? An architectural inspection trip to the residence city Würzburg, whose palace was built by the renowned Balthasar Neumann? The Franconian towns and villages are a sightseers delight. Recommended souvenir: a few of the squat bottles of Franconian wine will be a lively reminder of pleasant days spent in stunning Altmühl Valley or walks among the typical half-timbered buildings.
