Obernburg am Main

Obernburg is a town on the Main River in Bavaria with a medieval old town that spreads along the riverbank. Historic buildings and half-timbered houses create the character of this traditional Main Valley settlement.

Obernburg began as a medieval settlement along the Main River and grew into a regional trading center. The town became part of the Prince-Bishopric of Mainz and has maintained its historic character.

The old town is best explored on foot, with the river serving as a natural guide. The terrain is flat and easy to walk, making it suitable for a relaxed stroll.

The town was long a key transshipment point for river traffic on the Main, underscoring its role as a trading center. This connection to river commerce still shapes how the town looks and functions today.
