    Located at the confluence of the Tauber and Main rivers, Wertheim is a lovely village dating back over a thousand years.

On your guided walking tour of the village, you'll hear a lot about daily life in Wertheim, as well as facts about the town and its history.

Beautifully decorated wooden booths are illuminated by the soft glow of Christmas lighting, and the air is filled with the scent of roasted chestnuts and the sound of Christmas carols. One of the best ways to embrace a different culture is through encounters with local residents, which you'll experience this afternoon in a typical Franconian village. Make new friends over hot drinks and homemade seasonal treats. ...
