Würzburg Countryside:
When You Don’t Want to Miss Out On Anything
Rural serenity close to town – isn’t that what we all want? Add to that employers such as small and large fashion companies, the largest online printer in Europe, etc. It’s all right here.
#Shopping-Fun Satiated
Small, unique and individually-owned boutiques still exist here (of course the chains are represented as well). Clothes, shoes, jewelry, amazing collections of home décor and accessories, and in the middle of it all a store that sells nothing but cupcakes. Simply heaven! If shopping is not your thing, you can just relax in one of the small cafes and wait for your loved one/mother/grandmother.

NOTICE FOR PARENTS
In the town of Ochsenfurt, next to the town hall building in the old town, there are several wonderful wine taverns. And there is also a small pool full of water right there in the middle of the pedestrian zone. So why is this important? Any ideas? It means that, especially in the summer, you will have at least a couple of hours to yourself while the kids play in the water, time to enjoy a glass of wine.

NOTHING BUT LIES
At the Kapellenberg Mountain in Eibelstadt, you can learn about the famous Lügensteine (lie stones) that appeared in town in 1725 while walking the Lügenstein Trail.
