==Transportation==
The station "[Vach Bahnhof](/source/Vach_station)" is a regular stop on the railway line between [Fürth](/source/F%C3%BCrth) and [Erlangen](/source/Erlangen), but it is located approx.2km away from the district Vach in the district of [Stadeln](/source/Stadeln). Vach is also reachable by the motorway A73; from the north by the slip road "Eltersdorf" and from the south by the slip road "Ronhof".

==Sights==
The [church](/source/w%3Ade%3ASt._Matth%C3%A4us_(Vach)), rectory and the "Kantorat" form an attractive ensemble of monuments. The church with its western tower and its drawn-in choir with a wind-tower per eastern corner date from the [Gothic](/source/Gothic_architecture) Age. The nave and choir were probably built in 1442, when Vach was promoted to a parish. The western tower with three floors was added shortly afterwards.

A special feature is the [Ginkgo](/source/Ginkgo_biloba) in the garden of the rectory, which is not open to the public.
