Summary: Travelogue of the region neighbouring the River Main between Coburg and Miltenberg.
Description: Region is characterised by picturesque old towns, historic churches and castles. Views of Coburg, the Franconian countryside, Kronach, Neumann's pilgrimage church at Vierzehnheiligen, a monastery, Staffelstein, Bamberg, Marktbreit, Würzburg, Wertheim and Miltenberg. Commentary draws attention to the specifically Germanic character of Bamberg Cathedral and notes impressive examples of Gothic and Baroque architecture. Film emphasises the historic and traditional aspects of Franconia's scenery and way of life, showing fishermen and coopers at work and a shepherd driving his flock through unchanged Marktbreit, and the only indications of the period are the traffic in the streets of Würzburg and a distant group of girls in uniform in the same town.
