A wonderful, varied route with wonderful views and fruit to snack on 😋

The sunny month of May has begun.
We welcomed him with the jungle path in Volkach.
We have wanted to walk this route for a long time.
Despite the lack of sun, it went very well today.
A beautiful piece of earth!
At the end, a short detour to the quince shop. Highly recommended for all epicureans 👍

First, you walk comfortably on a wide path along the Main until you reach the "jungle path": a narrow …

Every year we do a Mainschlaifen tour. This time we do the quince nature trail with jungle trail. Of course we also visit Vogelsburg; then we go to the Volkach wine festival. A really successful day
