At the northernmost end of the Romantische Strasse is the Franken region of Germany, noted for its wine. There are some scenic and historic towns here along the Main river. On this trip, we visited the towns of Sommerach and Volkach. We stayed at a small gasthaus called Winzerhof. Charming, family-run place. We drank a lot of wine and ate a LOT of food on this little excursion.
Living in northern California, I'm not easily impressed by wine regions, but I was astonished by the vastness of the vineyards there. Many go on and on as far as the eye can see. I haven't been a huge fan of German wine, as it's somewhat sweet for my taste, but some of them are very nice and go well with certain foods.
It was another fine portion of our Romantic Road tour.
