Iphofen
A Franconian wine town with nearly intact medieval walls. The Rödelsee Gate is one of Germany's most photogenic medieval gates.
Iphofen lies about 33 km southeast of Würzburg and retains almost intact medieval walls and gates. The half-timbered tower and house of the Rödelsee Gate is a classic Franconian postcard scene. The town has a Baroque town hall and the Knauf Museum, which displays plaster replicas of ancient reliefs, along with many family wineries. Nearby, the Julius-Echter-Berg vineyard on the Schwanberg is also well known. It takes about 30 minutes by regional train from Würzburg, and about 10 minutes' walk from the station to the old town.
