It is their heart project. And that’s why ulrike geise is also putting a lot of energy into a possible redesign of the altmain between volkach and gerlachshausen.
The river runs for about twelve kilometers between vineyards and meadows. An idyll that fascinates canoeists, tourists and locals alike. The biologist and deputy chairwoman of the nature conservation association in kitzingen now wants to give this section of the river even more naturalness. More dynamic, more wild. "As fliebgewasser, the main is not alive," says geise. How could it.
In the 1950s, the river was developed as a navigable waterway – including the section between volkach and gerlachshausen, which has long since ceased to be navigated by ships.
