The Franconian Red Wine Trail winds its way through the landscape of the Chur-Franconian Main Valley, passing beautifully situated vineyards and historic towns and villages. A hiking vacation here is a pleasure in more ways than one. After all, it goes without saying that you should also sample the fine wines that thrive along the 78-kilometer route between Großwallstadt and Bürgstadt's Centgrafenberg.
