Resting in Germany’s Bavaria region in the Lower Franconia area, Miltenberg lies on a bend in the River Main at the foot of the Odenwald Mountains. Miltenberg features more than 100 half-timbered heritage listed houses, which are bright in colour and give the appearance of the classic ‘gingerbread house’. Run through by romantic alleys and squares, the village is dotted with legendary buildings such as the Zum Riesen Hotel, dating from 1411, which has hosted guests such as two Holy Roman Emperors, Napoleon, Richard Strauss and Elvis Presley. The picturesque Frankischer Rotwein Wanderweg Miltenberg is a riverside walk weaving through vineyards rich in the region’s popular red grapes. Don’t miss the chance to try some comforting traditional Franconian dishes such as the legendary Frankische Sauerbraten pot roast.
