Wertheim, Germany - October 20, 2015

We docked in Wertheim, Germany this morning for a walking tour of this charming fairytale town located at the meeting of the Main and Tauber Rivers.  The medieval townscape includes beautifully restored timbered houses built in Franconian style. We visited the historic marketplace, glassblowing studio, bakery, Euro Store (much like our Dollar Tree) and various other merchants.  This fascinating community floods regularly,so the town actually floods itself, preventing extensive damage.

   During the afternoon, we continued to cruise down this picturesque river admiring the scenery.  The vineyards seemed endless.
