Wertheim sits at the confluence of the Main and Tauber, a village that feels lifted from a storybook with its half-timbered houses leaning over cobbled lanes. Above it all, the ruins of Wertheim Castle watch the rivers, offering sweeping views of vineyards and red-roofed homes. Walk amongst the locals into the old town, where bakeries scent the air with fresh pretzels and wine taverns serve Franconian vintages. This is one of several Main River gems, each known for their timber-framed houses and timeless charm. Whether you’re exploring a quiet square, browsing shops filled with local crafts, or pausing for a glass of Riesling beneath the castle walls, Wertheim captures the essence of these river villages. With Celebrity River Cruises, it becomes a gateway into the heart of Germany’s storybook Main.
