    The Main hiking trail is marked with a clear, large blue M and connects the source of the Main on the Ochsenkopf with its mouth into the Rhine near Mainz. The path along the 527km long Main was marked out in 1971. It passes some beautiful hiking and nature reserves: Fichtelgebirge, Franconian Switzerland, Haßberge, Steigerwald, Spessart and

    Odenwald. You hike from east to west and cover around 570km.

      The Main hiking trail begins here, which leads from the source of the Weißmain to the mouth of the Main in the Rhine. In total it is 542km long and was inaugurated on May 6th, 1972 as the first long-distance hiking trail in Bavaria.

        A very beautiful place. Anyone who spends their holiday here should definitely have the source and the start of the Main hiking trail on their list. A visit to this beautiful spot is definitely worth it.
