Tips
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.

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.translated by•February 12, 2018
One of the two sources of the big Main, once red and once white. Here it begins until it ends at Wiesbaden in the Rhine after a good 500km. Just a must visit for hikers in the region to then even the Weißmainfelsen (beautiful view) to climb.
