The Mainspitze is the name given to the mouth of the Main into the Rhine, a special point on hiking tours for hikers interested in geography.

The source rivers of the Main arise in the Fichtelgebirge (White Main) and in the Franconian Alb (Red Main). After approx. 550 KM the Main flows into the Rhine at this point. It is particularly impressive when a ship enters the Main from the Rhine and turns 90 ° in the process.
