The Main River (pronounced like âmineâ in English) originates in Upper Franconia where the White and Red Main rivers unite near Kulmbach.
The Main is navigable for shipping from its mouth at the Rhine close to Mainz for 396 kilometres (246 mi) to Bamberg. Since 1992, the Main has been connected to the Danube via the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal and the highly regulated Altmuehl altmÃ¼hl. riverhe Main has been canalized with 34 large locks (300 m Ã 12 m (984 ft Ã 39 ft)) to allow CEMT class V (110 m Ã 11.45 m (360.9 ft Ã 37.6 ft)) vessels to navigate the total length of the river. The 16 locks in the adjacent Rhine-Main-Danube Canal and the Danube itself are of the same dimensions.
