Sachsenhausen in Frankfurt has friendly atmosphere and more than 100 bars serving locally produced cider
FRANKFURT: This is a city with creative cuisine and gourmet kitchens, five-star restaurants and trendy eateries, but in Frankfurt traditional apple wine pubs are the speciality.
Apfelwein, also known as stöffche or ebbelwei, is a type of cider that has long been considered the signature drink of the Hessen region. In and around Frankfurt in particular, you can find lots of inviting cider houses and beer gardens where apfelwein is served the old-fashioned way in a blue earthenware pitcher called a bembel.
