contents For every $2$-regular graph $F$ of order $v$, the Oberwolfach problem $OP(F)$ asks whether there is a $2$-factorization of $K_v$ ($v$ odd) or $K_v$ minus a $1$-factor ($v$ even) into copies of $F$. Posed by Ringel in 1967 and extensively studied ever since, this problem is still open. In this paper we construct solutions to $OP(F)$ whenever $F$ contains a cycle of length greater than an explicit lower bound. Our constructions combine the amalgamation-detachment technique with methods aimed at building $2$-factorizations with an automorphism group having a nearly-regular action on the vertex-set.
