· 3 pulledThe Main River is the longest river (entirely in Germany) and flows through central Germany in the states of Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Hesse before joining the Rhine River near Mainz.
Due to its navigability, many towns, fortresses and castles were founded along its shores.
These days, it's a popular touristic route: visitors can visit many of the places along the Main by train, boat, car and even by bicycle (the Main Radweg or Main Bicycle Route).
