Iphofen
Iphofen, a charming small town in Lower Franconia, is a real insider tip for anyone looking to combine culture, nature, and wine – preferably with an open-top car. The town is idyllically located along the Franconian Wine Road and is perfectly nestled among gentle hills, vineyards, and a historic backdrop. Those planning a convertible tour in Bavaria will find the ideal starting point here.
The lovingly restored old town with its medieval city walls, small alleys, and half-timbered houses invites you to take a leisurely stroll. The impressive Rödelseer Gate, the town's landmark, welcomes visitors in style. Between wineries and small restaurants, the Franconian lifestyle can be beautifully experienced.
Relaxed cruising through the vineyards
Around Iphofen, idyllic roads wind through the vineyard landscape – perfect for a peaceful drive with the convertible. A particularly recommended detour is to the viewing platform “terroir,” from where you can enjoy a magnificent view over the Franconian wine region. Here, you can also plan short stops for picnics or a glass of Silvaner.
The surroundings offer not only wine enjoyment but also geological highlights like the Iphöfer Kalb or hiking trails with views of the Steigerwald foothills. For an extended tour, it’s worth driving on to Castell or Dettelbach – both are also shaped by viticulture and charming in their own way.
