If you are planning a stay in Erlabrunn combining water, cycling and exploring the town, you will find several distinct themes. The Erlabrunn swimming lake recreation area covers 19 ha and includes the Large Lake and the Small Lake, with a combined water surface of 7 ha. The 19 ha refers to the entire area, while the 7 ha refers to the water surface of both lakes.

Lakes and Leisure Facilities

Facilities include spacious sunbathing lawns, dedicated play areas for children and beach volleyball players, a playground and a barbecue area. A cableway runs from the shore to a small island in the water. The recreation area thus brings together sunbathing areas, play and beach volleyball facilities, and the island as distinct features. If you are making specific plans to use individual facilities, please observe local notices: maintenance and seasonal restrictions may apply.

Cycle Route and Garden

The Main Cycle Route goes around the Erlabrunn swimming lake; the Eternal Garden in Erlabrunn is right beside the route. The garden focuses on regional plant life in dry habitats and shows how it thrives under these conditions. This gives cyclists two distinct points of interest along the same route: the lake landscape and the plants of dry sites. When planning your visit, you can decide whether to focus more on the water or on the garden’s special theme.

Clematis Circular Trail and Townscape

The Clematis Village of Erlabrunn offers an individual walk along the Clematis Circular Trail, with an accompanying leaflet. The focus here is on a themed walk, while the Main Cycle Route offers a different connection to the town. If you need the leaflet for your tour, check its availability locally.

Erlabrunn’s old town features half-timbered houses and picturesque lanes. The Erlabrunn Käppele chapel is on Volkenberg, nestled in the black pine forest. The old town’s lanes and the chapel’s wooded setting thus offer distinct aspects of the town.

More Culture in the Wider Würzburg Travel Destination

In the wider Würzburg travel destination, Ochsenfurt offers another architectural perspective. Its historic old town is surrounded by an almost complete fortification system with numerous town gates and towers. Ochsenfurt’s New Town Hall dates from the 15th century and features a unique figurine and moon clock in its small lance tower. The cultural landscape of Würzburg district also offers a variety of features: vineyards, forests, broad open agricultural plains and the Main Valley. In the Siegelswäldchen woods above the vineyards of Sommerhausen, a sculpture park features life-size works by seven artists on the theme of winegrowers.

For a seasonal perspective, take the Nixe ferry in Ochsenfurt’s old town: from May to October, regular sightseeing and ferry trips operate on the Main. As schedules may change, check the current timetable before making plans.
