In this book, Horst-Dieter Radke introduces us to the beautiful region of Franconia and provides detailed accounts of its most important and typical places and destinations. Each chapter focuses on a specific aspect: the reader immerses themselves in the nature, the landscapes of castles and towns, is tempted by the author to explore, hike, and enjoy wine or beer, laughs with him over curiosities, and delights in the lifestyle of his fellow countrymen. Residents of the region will discover many new things, while readers from other areas will come to love Franconia and set out to visit.
