The garden of Veitshöchheim palace ranks as one of the most beautiful rococo gardens in Europe.Franconian wine country
Franconian wine country is an attractive region of picturesque wine villages and outstanding architecture, both ecclesiastic and secular. Volkach on a bend in the river Main and in the heart of the Franconian winegrowing region is well worth a visit.The Romantic Road to Rothenburg ob der Tauber
Würzburg forms the gateway to the Romantic Road, the most famous and most popular tourist route in Germany. The Tauber Valley leads to the medieval town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber whose ancient townscape has been preserved almost untouched for centuries.Veitshöchheim rococo garden
One of the loveliest rococo gardens in Europe commissioned by the prince bishops of Würzburg. Its leafy avenues and hedge-lined pathways constantly reveal fresh glimpses of hedged compartments, arbours, pavilions and circular flowerbeds culminating in the Great Lake with a fountain representing Mount Parnassus. Greek deities, statues personifying abstract ideas, allegorical figures or representations of animals illustrate the range of the baroque imagination in the garden's woodland area, arbours and lakes.
