ring fortification

Highlight • Historical Site

At the top of the Bürgstädter Berg, the remains of a huge rampart can be seen in many places. Excavations have shown that the wall dates from the late Bronze Age. At this point you can view a reconstructed stone gate with palisades to get a feel for the once mighty wall.

There are a lot of blanks in the forest.

From the Centgrafenkapelle you have an impressive view over the Maintal. The chapel itself is also nice to look at. Although the building was never finished properly, the chapel looks surprisingly good, impressive as the ruins already are: The lintel of the chapel bears the date 1630th The Centrograph Leonhard Gackstatt was at the chapel at that time build, but it was due to the Thirty Years War never completed.

Centgrafenkapelle

Highlight • Religious Site

Based on its appearance, the term “ruin” would seem appropriate, but that is not the case in this case. It is not a destroyed or demolished structure, but rather an unfinished structure. It is unknown why the chapel was not rebuilt after the war. Centgrave Leonhart Gackstatt gave away the bells that had already been purchased to the Franciscan monastery of Miltenberg in 1630.

September 9, 2023,14 km rund Miltenberg-Bürgstadt
A FAZ hiking tip. For me, strangely enough, 14 km instead of 12.7 km.

Forest and water, wine and sandstone characterize the landscape near Bürgstadt am Main. Well protected by the Spessart and Odenwald, the strong red and white wines of the Centgrafenberg area thrive above the Erftal valley. The sandstone subsoil, which is rather poor in minerals, is compensated for by the good heat storage and the cultivation of fruit crops. They loosen …
