The Franconian bestseller author about his homeland
Franken, the casual beauty: The bestselling author Ewald Arenz was born in Nuremberg, grew up in a stone-roofed Jura house in Burgsalach, and lives near Fürth, which he particularly appreciates as the "city in shadow." In his exploration journey, starting from the center in Nuremberg, the author enthuses about "Old Varieties" and "The Great Summer," spreading out in all directions and painting a vivid and nuanced portrait of his homeland – between picturesque towns, baroque architectural monuments, climbing paradises, and lake landscapes. Ewald Arenz engages with the rich historical heritage, culinary traditions, and wine and beer specialties. And with the linguistic subtleties of a dialect, whose consonants are softer than elsewhere.

Wandering or cycling, the author experiences the joy of traveling through Franconia, taking us along to church consecrations and festivals, historically significant sites, overlooked gems, and personal favorite spots... Anyone who loves Ewald Arenz's novels will be thrilled by his Franconian discoveries.
