Climate: The climate of our region is stamped by the river Main and the surrounding mountains, which makes us live and work in kind of a big caldera. While the river contributes to having rather mild temperatures the mountains tend to hold back the clouds so it’s rather dry here. Nonetheless we do have to deal with extreme weather events: frost (particularly scary around bud break) and heat (up to 40°C)
Soil: Shell limestone
