Karlstadt, Germany Cruises

Karlstadt, Germany Cruise Port

• The Stadtgeschichtliches Museum is the place where history buffs can get their fill of the past. Although it's not very large, its location in the center of town makes a nice addition to a walk through the cobblestone streets while absorbing the ambiance.
   
• The historic Rathaus or Town Hall, located in the Marktplatz (marketplace) was built in 1422. This beautiful building is especially festive during the winter holidays. During warmer months, you can tour the inside and get a view of the village from its upper level. There's also a little fellow on the roof – mechanical, of course – who sounds his trumpet several times each day.
   
• The ruins of Castle Karlsburg loom on a hill over the town. First erected in the 10th century, the castle was mostly destroyed during the German Peasants' War in 1525. The trip to the top is worth it to both explore a piece of history, and for excellent views of Karlstadt and the Main River valley.
   
• Of course, there are plenty of wineries not far from town. Take a trip out to Würzburg to visit vineyards such as Staatlicher Hofkeller, Weingut Juliusspital Würzburg, and Weingut Reiss (just a few among many options).
