Wertheim am Main

 

You see these "Wertheimer Optimist" all around town. behind this one you will see the marina and our boat we are tethered to another boat, there is only room for 2 boats on the guest berth, from there they allow two more boats to raft up.


View from my seat enjoying a "Safe arrival drink"
The marina has 2 showers with large private dressing areas. Electricity included in the price of the marina berth, not sure of water, didn't want to disturb the people on the boat we were tied up too.
Supermarkets and centre of town walking distance, as well as the Burg Wertheim (castle)

Three meter high "Wertheim Optimist" in the old town, next to the Blaues Haus (Blue House) from 1593, the house not the gnome.

Wertheim Castle
Built in the 12th century, the castle was steadily developed and enlarged until into the 17th century. It was partially destroyed by a powder explosion in1619 and heavily bombarded during the Thirty Years' War.


Lots of stairs, always stairs
