The old barns in Franconia. Today I would like to introduce you to a special barn that stands on the Hettstadter Steige. From there you have a wonderful view of Würzburg and Veitshöchheim, the two cities known for their baroque castles and gardens. The barn is from the 18th century and has been lovingly restored. Today it serves as a venue for cultural events and private celebrations.
