Welcome to Franconia!

Located in the heart of Germany and all of Europe, Franconia is situated in the geographical center of Europe, north of the Danube River and with the Main River flowing right through it. Twisting half-timbered alleys next to magnificent Baroque ensembles, vast forests next to fertile vineyards, relaxed pleasures next to plenty of sporting action: in Franconia, these apparent contrasts simply go together. It is precisely this diversity that distinguishes the vacation destination.
