View of the Main Valley from Mainleite

With a flow length of 527 kilometers, the Main is the longest right-hand tributary of the Rhine.
The headwaters of the Main have their source in the Fichtelgebirge (White Main) and in the Franconian Jura (Red Main).
On the western edge of the town of Kulmbach in the district of Melkendorf near Steinenhausen Castle, the two source rivers unite to form the actual Main.
Despite many striking changes of direction, the river course keeps its main flow direction from east to west - which is rare in Central Europe - and touches several Franconian low mountain ranges.

In the Höllental forest towards Obere Mainleite - easy hiking trails - warmly recommended.
