Beautiful source on the northeastern slope of the Ochsenkopf near Bischofsgrün. Good accessibility, as well as opportunities to relax (benches, etc.). The White Main unites west of Kulmbach with the Red Main and flows at Mainz in the Rhine.

The source of the "White Main", which eventually becomes the Main. A small trickle becomes a river. A nice place to take a break.

White and Red Main unite at Kulmbach to the Main which later flows into the Rhine. This then in the North Sea.
The red Main is the water poorer river, but longer. Red Main about 72km, white Main about 52km.
