Mondfeld: Mondsee, Main Ferry and Local History

With Mondsee, the Main ferry and traces of history at St. Martin, Mondfeld offers a range of ways to shape your stay. You can explore the countryside on foot and by bike; the bathing lake and ferry service also give the water a tangible role. When looking for accommodation in Mondfeld, you can first consider whether water, outdoor activities or local history should define your stay.

Main Ferry and Mondsee

The Main ferry connects Mondfeld with the Bavarian town of Stadtprozelten in the Miltenberg district. It operates regularly, except during high water, fog, ice conditions or repairs. If you are planning a crossing, it is advisable to check the latest operating information, as these conditions can interrupt regular service.

The “Mondsee” bathing lake is located directly on the Main in Mondfeld, between Wertheim and Freudenberg. Mondsee has served as a local recreation area since 1978. You can also explore the countryside around Mondfeld on foot and by bike. This lets you tailor your stay to your interests, whether they are water-related or focused on exploring on foot or by bike. It is best to check the latest conditions before planning a visit to the lake.

History in Mondfeld

The baptismal font in St. Martin’s Church in Mondfeld bears the year 1684 and probably comes from Mondfeld’s first church, built in the 17th century. Another historical feature is the Way of the Cross in Mondfeld, laid out so that visitors can follow Jesus’ Passion on foot. Local history therefore ranges from a church object bearing a date to a route with religious significance.
