From the Karches-See or Karches-Weiher with the Waldrasthaus Karches (hiking car park) the Goetheweg leads to the Weißmainfelsen, the Weißmainquelle and the Ochsenkopf summit. Goethe himself probably did not hike this route to the Ochsenkopf summit on July 1, 1785.

Hiking

The fastest way to descend from Weißmainfelsen. The path is more of a narrow root path and is therefore really inviting. A nice alternative to the wide forest path.
