Experience Wörth a.Main

For a stay in Wörth a.Main, you can choose from several themes: maritime traditions, exhibitions on the Romans and nail-making, flood protection, and hiking and cycling trails each offer a different focus. This lets you shape your trip around your interest in local history or outdoor activities.

Shipping, the Museum and Flooding

Wörth a.Main has been known as a town of boatmen since the 13th century. The Maritime Museum is housed in a church that was deconsecrated in 1903. “Deconsecrated” means that a church building was no longer used for religious purposes; the year provides historical context for the museum’s location.

A permanent exhibition at the museum covers the Romans in Wörth. From September 2004, the collection was expanded to include a permanent exhibition on the now-extinct craft of nail-making in Wörth. The original equipment of a historic nail-making workshop is set up in a side room of the museum.

Original ship parts are on display in the courtyard of the Maritime and Shipbuilding Museum in Wörth. A permanent exhibition in the Upper Gate focuses on floods in past centuries and flood protection today. In Wörth, maritime objects from the collection are thus presented alongside an exhibition about historical floods and modern flood protection.

Getting Around on Foot and by Bike

Wörth has numerous hiking trails for outdoor activities, and a network of cycle paths connects the town with neighboring towns. As a simple comparison for planning your day: explore trails in Wörth on foot, or take a look at the links to neighboring towns by bike.
