Nordheim a.Main: Views, Winegrowing and Nature

Get to know Nordheim a.Main through its specific places and activities: the wine cinema and panoramic platform offer different perspectives on the views, while the Nordheimer Au highlights natural habitats. There are also paths through the municipal vineyard and a winegrowing attraction. For your hotel stay, these highlights can help you choose a destination based on your interests.

Views of the Wine Island and the Mainschleife

The wine cinema in the vineyards of Nordheim is a viewpoint with comfortable seats arranged like those in a movie theater. From there, the view stretches across the Wine Island to Nordheim and beyond; the landscape of the Mainschleife forms the “screen.” The comfortable seats echo the cinema theme, while the landscape takes center stage.

The Nordheim panoramic platform, at the summit of the Nordheimer Kreuzberg, offers a 360° view of the surrounding area. The viewpoints therefore offer distinctly different perspectives: the wine cinema looks out over the Wine Island, Nordheim and the Mainschleife, while the platform provides a panoramic view of the surrounding area.

Nordheimer Au: Meadows, Fruit Trees and Habitats

Nordheimer Au adds a nature focus to the viewpoints. Orchards and meadows make the Au a habitat for numerous animal and plant species, including some that have become rare. The area is designated as a bird sanctuary and a Fauna-Flora Habitat. Both its open spaces and their importance as a habitat are central here. If nature is among your travel interests, alongside winegrowing and views, the Au offers a destination in its own right.

Walking Trails and Leisure Activities

The Way of Remembrance runs through the Nordheim municipal vineyard: a gently winding path made of shell limestone slabs, expressly intended for walking. It can be walked at any time of year. Its winding shape and the material both help define the walk.

Vineyard hikes are possible around Nordheim. Other leisure activities in Nordheim include cycling on the Maintal Cycle Route and canoe trips on the Altmain. The options differ in how you get around: on foot through vineyards, by bike on the Maintal Cycle Route or by canoe on the Altmain. If you are planning a specific trip, check the route and provider in advance.

Winegrowing and a Special Occasion

The terroir f site in Nordheim am Main is dedicated to personalities in the winegrowing industry. Alongside the path through the municipal vineyard, it offers a different winegrowing focus: the path is all about the walk, while the site turns the spotlight on people in the industry.

For several years, couples planning to marry have been able to symbolically sail into the harbor of marriage aboard the Nordheim Main ferry. If you are considering this for a special occasion, coordinate the arrangements with the municipality.

Kitzingen: City History and Culture

Kitzingen has its own stories of culture and city history. The Alte Mainbrücke, also known as the Pippinsbrücke, has medieval origins and was first documented in 1300. The town hall on the market square dates from the 16th century and was built by Hans Eckart von Schaffhausen in the Renaissance style. The Falterturm, formerly called the Falltorturm, was built between 1469 and 1496 as a watchtower on the outer city wall. The 39-meter-high market tower was originally part of the inner city wall and served as a watchtower and prison.

A public city tour through the historic center and across the market square introduces visitors to Kitzingen’s history; check the dates before your trip. The Kitzingen tasting tour combines samples from local restaurateurs with an exclusive tour of the Deuster cellars by headlamp. Check the current dates for this tour as well. At the German Carnival Museum, interactive stations and spacious exhibition rooms offer a playful way to explore Fasching, Fastnacht and Karneval. The Deusterturm houses an ornithological exhibition.
