Wertheim (Germany)

Wertheim is situated on a spit of land at the confluence of the Tauber and the Main Rivers. We spent the morning wandering through this town and accidently discovered the Museum. This is housed in two 16th century houses and it was great to experience these old buildings from the inside. The floors sloped, the walls were at all angles, the doorways were low and the window glass was very old - wonderful - and that's not taking away from the exhibits of furniture, costumes, paintings etc.

The town is renowned for its glass industry and as we sailed that afternoon we were treated to an excellent and entertaining exhibition of glass blowing by master glass blower from a family of five generations in the business.
