Program :

Meeting at 8 a.m. Saturday in Volkach am Main .

The team will meet on Saturday morning, take possession of the equipment and after packing, before we put the kayaks on the water, we will briefly take over the safety rules for a further pleasant tour, and then we will start the Main Tour around 9 o’clock.

On Saturday, approx. 32 km is waiting for us.

Volkach – Kitzingen 18 km

At Volkach, after the Astheimer’s lock, we start our tour in the Old Main Branch, the Main Loop.

Anyone who wants to can control the sluice process themselves. There is no need to quarrel in the sluice master position, there will be more opportunities later.

At Gerlachshausen we return to the navigable Main, where we can also expect passenger and cargo traffic.

We also pass the monumental Benedictine monastery in Münsterschwarzach and then pass through a sports lock again in front of the town of Dettelbach.

The town of Dettelbach, protected by a medieval castle wall and towers.

The Mainstockheim ferry dates back to the 1500s. Well, not this model, but it has been an important crossing point on the Main ever since.

From here it is only a few paddlestrokes to Kitzingen, where we paddle under the 13th century Pipin Bridge and then beside the Leaning Tower of Kitzingen.

Kitzingen – Ochsenfurt 16 km

Leaving Kitzingen, the team has to deal with a lock again.

After Kitzingen, the next attraction is Sulzfeld. The defensive wall surrounding the city, the towers and the narrow alleys still give the wine town a medieval feel.

The port of Marktsteft dates back to the 18th century and is considered to be the oldest surviving port in Bavaria.

Marktbreit is the southernmost point of the Main. One of the attractions of the town is the Alter Kran (Old Crane) with which ships have been loaded since the 1700s. It was first built of wood, but the iceflood of the century took it away in 1784, so it was later built of stone, and we can still see that today. It’s possible to see similar in Würzburg, but it has double arms.

At the sport lock in Marktbreit, we again vote for a new sluice master.

The town gate of Frickenhausen also exudes a medieval atmosphere, here we reach the Campingpark that provides our accommodation.

Accommodation:

Here you can spend the night in your own tent or even in small cabins. The cost of this is not included in the tour fee. We help you with your reservation if required.

Meals individually:

In the evening, we can dine together in the campsite’s restaurant, discussing the daily experiences and the plan for the next day.

For Sunday we are planning a distance of approx. 15 km.

Meeting at 9 a.m., departure after packing at 10 p.m.

We will vote the lock master of the Gossmannsdorf sport lock.

Sommerhausen and Winterhausen are followed by the town of Eibelstadt.

The city is famous for its 18th century fossil counterfeits. The Lügensteinweg in Eibelstadt tells you about this. The fossils can be viewed in the museum on Sundays from 2 to 4 p.m.

If our time allows, we can even watch it.

At Randersacker Sluice, we re-elect a sluice master

We will soon reach the city of Würzburg, where we will paddle next to the Marienberg fortress all the way to the medieval stone bridge of the Alte Mainbrücke, then turn back and finish our kayak tour at the Kayak Club.

As long as we arrange for the drivers to get back to the cars, the others can take a small city walk and also see the beautiful Main Bridge and the city from the mainland.

Once all the cars are back in the kayak club we say goodbye to each other and head home.

6 persons

Although this kayak tour can be completed even for beginners due to the relatively slow river, it is better to have been kayaking before. To cover the distances, we paddle 5-6 hours a day at a moderate pace, with 1-2 smaller breaks. So the advantage is to endure 2-3 hours sitting in the kayak.
