german version Treat yourself to an exceptional holiday. Come to Sommerhausen, where wine, art, theatre, and Franconian hospitality promise eventful days. Sommerhausen is situated in the beautiful Main Valley, south of Würzburg, only some kilometres off the motorway A3 Frankfurt – Nuremberg. Surrounded by vineyards and orchards, it is the ideal place for relaxing and exploring the rich cultural treasures of Franconia. Allow yourself a few days' rest in Sommerhausen, where "Italy begins". The photograph shows the "Schnecke" ('snail'), a monument erected on the occasion of the completion of the plot realignment of the vineyards and the opening of the bypass motorway. Created by Joachim Koch, the sculpture is evidence of the connection of art and wine culture in Sommerhausen.
