The White Main winds its way here near Michelau between many smaller quarry ponds, some of which have been renatured. Beautiful hidden paths, vantage points and a nature trail make this section of the Main attractive for hikers and ornithologists.

You should look at the map before locating anything. The White Main River ends near Kulmbach, and at Michelau, only the Main River remains.
