About Marktheidenfeld
Marktheidenfeld lies on the Main at the Mainviereck, on the eastern side of the Spessart. The old town has timber-frame houses, a Main promenade and the Baroque Franck-Haus of 1745, and the red sandstone Alte Mainbrücke opened in 1845. The Kreuzbergkapelle is reached by a Way of the Cross. The homes sit together on one spot, mostly for two people, up to five at most, and every one has a garden. Summer brings a dragon boat race each July and a ten-day folk festival each August. Out of season it is a quiet town, so check opening times before relying on a particular restaurant.
