Village splendour in the west of Schweinfurt

Key facts of the tour
Who remembers the last 50 Deutschmark note? On the front is the portrait of a man with a curly wig, on the reverse a magnificent staircase, the interior view of the Würzburg Residence. It has been a World Heritage Site since 1981. It was designed by the architect, engineer and master builder Balthasar Neumann.

In the early 18th century, Balthasar Neumann was the prince-bishop's building director, later senior building director in Würzburg, and is considered to be the master of the Baroque style. He received commissions from Bamberg to Trier and from Cologne to Constance. Around 100 important buildings of all kinds can be traced back to his work.

On this scenic cycle tour along small watercourses, you can trace his masterful work in the pretty Franconian villages west of Schweinfurt.
