    Good idea, especially since a few kilometers further, the "lowest point in Bavaria" is coming.

      Here (more precisely in the Main) is the westernmost point of Bavaria. The lowest point in Bavaria is also very close by.

        The westernmost point of Bavaria is located in the course of the Main river in the municipality of Karlstein am Main in the district of Großwelzheim.

          I've driven past it a few times and didn't notice it.
          A little further downstream the next highlight is the lowest point in Bavaria.
          102 NN.

            The westernmost point of Bavaria is located in the course of the Main in the area of the municipality of Karlstein am Main in the Großwelzheim district. The area's affiliation with Bavaria dates back to the Munich Treaty of April 14, 1816. In it, the King of Bavaria and the Emperor of Austria agreed that the Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt would cede the Alzenau office to the Kingdom of Bavaria.

              There are two “important” points just a few hundred meters apart. The “westernmost” and “deepest” points can be experienced on a bike tour on the Limes Cycle Path along the Main.
