The Alte Mainbrucke is a beatuiful spot to take pictures of the fortress, watch the ships travel down the Main, enjoy a coffee or wine! You can have a snack or a meal at one of the many restaurants and bakeries, but the most fun is look at all the saints. The bridge has statures of saints down the length... More

... still worth a visit. There aren't many bridges like this in the world. In some ways it is more congenial than Prague's. Stop for a meal or a glass of wine in the Old Main Mill and soak up the beauty of the view. More

Würzburg's Alte Mainbrucke is the second-oldest bridge in Germany, and has 12 statues of saints and prince-bishops lining it. Look for St. Killian (with the golden sword), and try to remember him from the Residenz! More

The Alte Mainbrucke, also refered to as the Saints' Bridge is one of Wuerzburg's many, excellent sights. It affords wonderful views of the city, the castle and the river. Toward the end of the war, the statues of the saints were lowered into the Main river to protect them from the advancing Allies. Much of this beautiful city was destroyed... More

Seen to be believed. The bridge even though with the splendour of the view, possessed a different aura from the other places, with it's various passer-byes and their red wine glasses. More
