Railway bridge between Bestenheid and Hasloch. Good opportunity to cross the Main on foot or by bike. From the bridge, you also have a very nice view of the Main.

One more small note for the attentive readers. The pictures for this highlight mostly do not show Kreuzwertheim Castle, but Wertheim Castle, which can be seen on the other side of the Main. Unfortunately, some things get mixed up there...

The old Main bridge to Kreuzwertheim was formerly a railway bridge. The steel structure with the rails was dismantled at the end of the 1980s. It can still be seen in old photographs.

The magnificent castle in Kreuzwertheim is owned by the Prince of Löwenstein. It is privately owned and not open to the public. A large gate in the castle wall offers a view of the beautifully maintained castle garden.

The weir on the Main between Eichel and Himmelreich. Good connection to Himmelreich. But beware, when taking bicycles, it goes very steeply up and down stairs!
