Discover Geiselwind

Geiselwind offers several distinct starting points for your trip: the “Licht auf unserem Weg” motorway church with its Engelweg, historic buildings in the town, and outdoor activities. When looking for a hotel, considering the focus of your trip can help you decide: Would you like to include the Engelweg, explore local history, or plan a hike or outdoor activity? The wider region also offers additional hiking opportunities.

Motorway Church, Engelweg and Townscape

The “Licht auf unserem Weg” motorway church is located at the Geiselwind service area. The Engelweg leads from the church to the Mariengrotte. The route is just under 500 metres long and includes 12 angel stations; there are 15 angels in total. The route length, the number of stations and the total number of angels offer different points of reference: together, they describe both the extent of the route and its design. At just under 500 metres, it is a short stretch that you can factor into your travel plans.

The town’s buildings offer their own points of interest. St. Burkhard’s Parish Church is one of Geiselwind’s buildings of art-historical significance. The market square includes the town hall, as well as townhouses and farmhouses. The Murrmann Museum is located on the upper floor of the town hall. Thus, the town hall is both part of the market square described here and home to the museum; St. Burkhard’s adds another church building to the townscape.

Outdoor Activities and Hiking

Erlebniswelt Strohofer offers archery as an outdoor activity; its grounds also feature experiences at the high ropes course. As operators’ offerings can change, check what is currently available before your trip if either activity is important to your plans. There is also an e-bike charging station at the Strohofer service area in Geiselwind. It is a specific point of reference for travellers using an e-bike.

The wider region offers two hiking trails with different designations. The Drei-Franken-Stein-Weg is a hiking trail on which hikers can earn the “Drei-Franken-Eck” hiking badge. The “Traumrunde Geiselwind” is classified as a quality hiking trail. The hiking badge and the quality classification are two different points of reference that can help you distinguish between these trails when planning.

More Cultural Highlights in the Wider Kitzingen Destination

The wider Kitzingen destination offers additional historical points of interest in its buildings. The Falterturm, formerly known as “Falltorturm”, was built there between 1469 and 1496 as a watchtower in the outer town wall. The Old Main Bridge in Kitzingen, also known as “Pippinsbrücke”, has medieval origins and was first mentioned in a document in 1300. A construction period is recorded for the tower, while the bridge has an early documentary mention—two different historical points of reference.

The town hall on Kitzingen’s market square is an important 16th-century building, built by Hans Eckart von Schaffhausen in the Renaissance style. The 39-metre-high Market Tower was originally part of the inner town wall and served as a watchtower and prison. A public guided tour takes visitors through the historic centre and across the market square, sharing the city’s history along the way. Check the dates before your trip. The Deusterturm houses an ornithological exhibition. At the German Carnival Museum, visitors can explore Fasching, Fastnacht and Karneval at hands-on stations and in exhibition rooms.
