Viking Grand European River Cruise: Explore The Delights Of Miltenberg, Germany

This is a in-depth look at Miltenberg, Germany. It shows passage through one of the 34 locks on the Main river.

Unlike the Rhine, of which it is a tributary, the Main is not a superhighway in terms of river traffic. It veers off to the left or right, doubles back on itself and seems to be in no rush to get to its mouth at the German city of Mainz. One of the ancient names for the river is
"Moine," which is said to mean "crooked snake" —a very apt description indeed.

The 13th- to 14th-century Miltenberg Castle dominates the town and the beautiful Renaissance Zum Riesen inn, hosting travelers since 1411, stands out for its rich history. The town prospered when it gained escort rights along the Main River; two forts once guarded the river crossing here.The Franconian town of Miltenberg on the Main River is lively and romantic, nestled amid one of Germany's fine wine-producing regions. As you stroll along the cobblestone streets of this medieval town, among timber-framed houses and down crooked lanes, it is easy to feel as though you have stepped back in time.
