Alter Kranen
An 18th-century port crane and Main riverside promenade, next to the Franconian Wine House. Riverboat tours also depart from this area.
The Alter Kranen was built in 1772 and 1773 and designed by a son of Neumann. It once loaded and unloaded cargo boats on the Main, and it is remarkably well preserved. The Franconian Wine House next door lets you taste and buy wines from many estates. Walking south along the river brings you to the old bridge. In summer the riverbank has outdoor seating, a good spot to watch the fortress. The Main River cruise piers for destinations such as Veitshöchheim are also nearby, with schedules as announced by the boat operators.
