Main at Aschaffenburg: how the place works

The Main is impounded, but its catchment reacts fast to prolonged rain and snowmelt in the Spessart. In the winter half of the year the level rises within a day, and with the water come branches, pallets and pieces of bank revetment.

Main at Aschaffenburg: what breaks there

Boats moved too late hang themselves in their lines or drift away with the pontoon. Debris hits rudders and propellers, and as the water falls boats settle on sloping banks.

Main at Aschaffenburg: what this means for your policy

Before winter, settle whether flooding and debris are covered without restriction and what the policy requires when high water is forecast. Usually it requires moving in time, and then the moment of the warning counts.
