Wuzburg - Old Bridge and Festung Marienburg

Wuzburg - Old Bridge and Festung Marienburg

Wurzburg, the capital of Lower Franconia, is one of the loveliest baroque cities in the country and became famous as the center of Franconian wine production. Besides those many tourists heading for the Romantic Road from here, 25.000 students enjoy the lively atmosphere of that town, which is beautifully embedded in the valley of the Main River, surrounded by wine-covered hills. The sights of Wurzburg in Germany are countless and it is hardly to believe, that 90 percent of the city were devastated in a 20 minutes lasting raid in World War 2nd, March 1945. In a miraculous rebuilding program nearly every major structure has been restored as well as the World Heritage Wurzburg Residence, which suffered serious damage.

A famous landmark of Wurzburg Germany is the mighty fortress Festung Marienberg, from where you get a nice view over the famous sights of Wurzburg and the pilgrimage church KŠppele, also an idyllic spot on a hill above the town of Wurzburg Germany.
