February 13, 2022,Obereschenbach,Kalk und Kultour Erlebnisweg, Schloß Saaleck

Walked the other of the two lime and culture adventure trails today.
The weather was ideal and the route is very varied: abandoned historic vineyards, along the Hammelburg military training area, past Saaleck Castle (hotel and restaurants are closed for the time being), down to the Bavarian Music Academy in the Altstadt monastery, always accompanied by great views of the …

It is thanks to the abbots that winegrowing was documented in the year of the donation, making Hammelburg the oldest wine-producing town in Franconia. To this day, excellent wines …

Once again new territory under your feet😁:
Very nice autumn tour near the Franconian Hammelburg - the oldest wine town in Franconia 🍇🍷😋

The route was planned independently, but always meets the regional wine trail with very interesting information boards about history, viticulture, region, etc.
Due to the nearby military training areas, flora and fauna are relatively free in their …
