February 8, 2023,🚶‍♀️ Volkach, Mainschleife und Fähre 🍷⚓️🌞🚶‍♀️

🚶‍♀️ Crossing Volkach with the really beautiful town hall in the direction of the pilgrimage church.

Through the vineyards we headed towards the village of Fähr.
Crossed here with the Main ferry (for only 1 euro on a really small ferry) ⚓️ and along the Main we went back to Volkach.

Really nice spot on the Main 🌞🥶😊😊🍷🚶‍♀️

With broken knees to the Mainschleife, probably even nicer in summer, it was worth the hike despite the cold weather.

What can I say? A great tour along the Main. The jungle path is great, but not to be underestimated. Not suitable for strollers, bicycles and the like.
I arrived at the ferry and was asked by the ferryman: Did you walk the jungle path?
You could see it in my face, any more questions?
We went back on the …

On your own behalf: if you want to walk the jungle path, you should be sure-footed and wear good shoes. Very slippery and sloping after rain. A number of accidents have occurred here in the recent past.

Then on the jungle path directly on the Main back towards Volkach. The path was a bit slippery and slippery at times.
Great tour. …
