The area is famous for it's wine and 11 different beers Miltenberg has it's own coin and a city wall. We go to Angels court. We see different flood markers so this flooding is not new to the area. The market square has a wonderful fountain. Moving on to Wertheim which is situated on the delta of the river Tauber flowing into the river Main .The city has medieval streets an numerous half-timbered houses and the late gothic Kilian chapel.We go to the glass museum and I get to blow glass. We make a fish which I am able to keep. What a great memory of the glass factory. We return to the boat in time for dinner at 8pm. We are surprised as to how far the water has come up. We will be here docked tomorrow as they hope the water will peak by then.
