The small Bavarian town of Miltenberg was one of our favorite destinations in Germany. We visited a baron and baroness in their private castle, a fascinating ongoing work of restoration. Afterward, we spent time on our own in a walking tour of this charming town with its half-timbered historical buildings. Located on a bend of the Main River, the town is often referred to as the Pearl of the Main, and we concur with that characterization.

Continuing our cruise, we encountered campgrounds and Nile Geese along the river. Throughout Bavaria, it was fascinating to hear cuckoos calling from the treetops.
