The Main Canal is a navigable passage through the Main near Volkach in Lower Franconia. It shortens the southern part of the Main loop and, as a lock and power plant canal, is part of the Gerlachshausen barrage of the impounded federal waterway Main.

The 35 m wide canal, built between 1950 and 1957, branches off from the Main above the Volkach weir and runs 6 km in a southerly direction. Below the lock and hydroelectric power station in Gerlachshausen, it rejoins the natural course of the Main. The Main Canal is accompanied by state road 2271 and the Main Valley Cycle Path.

The construction of the Main Canal created the artificial wine island with the wine towns of Nordheim and Sommerach. The Altmain, which is navigable for small vessels, flows around the wine island over a distance of 12 km.

Prichsenstadt Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

Town hall and tourist information in the middle of the old town. In the middle of the old town, right on Karlsplatz, right next to the city tower, there is a beautiful half-timbered house, in which today the town hall of Prichsenstadt and the tourist information office are located.

View of Prichsenstadt

Highlight • Viewpoint

Prichsenstadt. Steigerwald. The wine town of Prichsenstadt is reminiscent of the great time when cities were founded in the Middle Ages and shows typical features of the old Franconian culture and way of life. The medieval, angular streets, the half-timbered houses, the city wall with defensive towers exert that fascination that invites the visitor to linger.

Stone Bridge in Obervolkach with the Statue of St. John of Nepomuk

Highlight • Bridge

The Nepomuk statue from the 18th century is similar to the one in Volkach at the Gaibacher Tor. Only the so-called Baffchen was worked out in more detail. The figure is about 1.50 m high and was made of sandstone
