Schloß Mespelbrunn

Sailed to Wertheim. Took a little bright yellow and green "train" the short distance to the small city. Walking tour with Ursula who showed us the markers with the flood levels of the many, many floods experienced by the city. Interesting talk about the buildings, their construction, and their history followed by an in-depth explanation of what happened to the Jewish residents of the city through history including their removal during the Nazi regime. After the tour, Anna and I found the path up to the red sandstone castle looming over the town. Had a good time visiting the castle before finding a different route back into town and then a walk along the river back to the ship.. Watched the scenery as the ship sailed down the channel. Special German food dinner on board the ship with a few lederhosen and dirndls worn by the staff.Read more
