Reichshof is a fast pace, modern, colorful holiday destination. This area offers a large untouched nature spot full of opportunities to hunt, hike, camp, or fish.
If you like more adventurous sports, Reichshof also offers hang gliding, paragliding sailing, ballooning, cycling, and Gokartfahren (go carting). If you are winter vacationing, this town also offers ski and toboggan trails and rentals.
Reichshof is also a great place to vacation with the kids. They have several animal parks filled with exotic birds and monkeys. Plus, there is a cave minerals museum, a modern railways exhibition, and doll museum to look at one of the most popular models of the German heritage.
Or what about taking tours of the Baroque Church Coner Hagen, which is always glowing in light and filled with ornate decor.
If you like hiking, there are several ideal spots for you. There is the Fairy Tale walk, which is perfect for children eight and under. They are taken on and adventure through town filled with stories and funny occurrences, and it finally ends in the restaurant bar named Linde.
There are also many other hiking destinations but none are as fascinating as the ones at Lamatrekking. In this hike, you and your friendly llama and family pack a lunch and venture though the landscape and scenery of beautiful Reichshof. During this, hikers can also barbecue at a campfire if they request to.
If you want to spend a leisurely day, there are activities for just that. There is the ever popular hot air balloon ride that last about half a day and takes you over the large, beautiful scenery. Then there’s the the Natural Children’s garden workshop which is another great place for your kiddies to go to and have a good time and learn about the finer points of gardening.
Some like to start their exploration of any German town by first visiting its museum(s) to get a feel for the history of the local culture. In Flörsheim am Main, that means visiting the Heimatmuseum.
This museum contains a gallery of paintings from the 18th century (with the majority of the work coming from local Flörsheim painters). There is also a large collection of pottery from the late 18th century and early 19th century, all from the local countryside. Admission is free to the Heritage Museum on the first Sunday of the month between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.
The next museum stop on the list would be the Main Tower, which was built around the middle of the 16th century and is the oldest building still standing in Flörsheim. It was an early fort used for the protection of the Main river and to help control shipping traffic.
Once the history of the area sinks in after visiting the local museums, it’s time to bask in the natural present beauty of the town. Stroll along the Wicker Wine Trail and pass the Mountain King Wilhelm and the Nonnberg and take part in some of their wine tastings while enjoying the beautiful scenery. On the way back down the trail, you’ll pass through vineyards and old village churches, including St Ann’s Chapel near the Meadow Mill.
After traveling down the Wicker Wine Trail, you might want to visit the Rhine-Main Regional Park for a bit more exploring.
Speaking of wine, the Wicker Wine Trail isn’t the only place in Flörsheim with wine tasting. There are many wine-shops in the city and any of the winemakers will be happy to share their insights and help you find the perfect wine for any occasion.
Don’t forget to ask around while you are there to find out where the nearest wine-tasting event is.
