Hauptstra脽e (Main Street), Miltenberg (must see)
The Main Street is a pedestrian zone where much of the town鈥檚 character, beauty, and history are on full display, forming a natural walking route through centuries of architecture, commerce, and culture. Along the street you鈥檒l also find a number of landmarks, for example the Old Town Hall or The Giant Inn.
One of the things that strikes visitors most on the street are the dozens of well-preserved half-timbered houses dating mostly from the 15th to the 18th centuries. These wood-framed fa莽ades, many brightly painted or carefully restored, show off a variety of styles and details. The oldest surviving half-timbered house in the pedestrian area was built around 1339.
The ground floors of many of the old buildings are occupied by boutique shops, artisan workshops, cafes, and restaurants serving Franconian food and drink. There are also museums along the route. Despite its many centuries of life, it has avoided wholesale destruction in modern times, so what you see is largely authentic. The street is narrow, cobbled in places, and parts of it-especially in the Black Quarter-still feel like you鈥檝e stepped into a painted postcard of medieval Germany.
