Main-Tauber-Kreis, Rural district in northeast Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Main-Tauber-Kreis is a rural district in northeast Baden-Württemberg made up of 18 towns spread across rolling green countryside. The Tauber River runs through the landscape from south to north, shaping it with meadows and wooded riverbanks.
The district was formed in 1973 when two separate areas merged into one administrative region. Before this change, parts of the land had been ruled by the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg for centuries until the early 1800s.
The towns here celebrate local traditions throughout the year with regional wines and crafts that reflect how people connect to their heritage. These gatherings shape the character of each community and show what matters to those who live there.
Getting around is easiest by car, though bus connections link the towns and villages if you prefer not to drive. Planning your route beforehand helps, as some smaller places are spread out across the countryside.
The area is known for wine growing in gently rolling hills that provide ideal conditions for vineyards. Visitors discover small wine estates and traditional cellars that still use time-honored methods.
