A nice bridge with a great view. It is wide enough not to be in anyone's way.

The Main Lock in Himmelstadt is one of 37 locks on the 400 km long, fully canalized stretch of the Main River between Mainz and Bamberg. It was built between 1935 and 1937 and opened in 1940. The lock chamber holds 17,000 m³ of water and is 300 m long and 12 m wide. In approximately 10 minutes, ships overcome a water level difference of up to 4.3 meters. Three ships with a gross tonnage of over 1,000 can be locked through simultaneously. Source: https://himmelstadt.de/leben-erleben/freizeit-tourismus/sehenswertes/schleuse/

Karlstadt is the district seat of the Lower Franconian district of Main-Spessart and is located approximately 30 kilometers north of Würzburg in the Main Franconian wine-growing region. The first mention of Karlburg in 742 is directly related to the founding of the Diocese of Würzburg. Around 1202, the settlement of Karlstadt, located near Karlburg, was founded by Bishop Konrad von Querfurt. The exact founding date is unknown. The earliest evidence of the town seal dates back to 1277. Source: Wikipedia
