Volkach Cruises, Germany

View Itineraries

Appearance-wise, Volkach is the poster child for authentic German towns. The hamlet’s filled with colourful half-timbered houses and pretty bite-sized parks. The Market Square’s the first stop for most visitors – it’s where you’ll find a lot of the town’s shops and restaurants. Everything from Asian eateries and Bavarian bistros to souvenir shops and supermarkets are packed around the square’s statue-topped water fountain. The other must-see spot in Volkach is the Baroque Barn Museum. This 400-year-old storehouse has been converted into a heritage museum, with displays featuring centuries-old farming equipment, pottery and swords. If scenic hikes are more your style, Volkach’s backed by a border of emerald-green hillsides. They’re sprinkled with easy-going walking routes that look out over the River Main.
