20의 기러기가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Like most river sources, it's rather unspectacular, but if you're planning to cycle the Main cycle path anyway...

Hard to believe that this will become the Main

Near the center of Mistelbach there are several rock formations made of Rätholias sandstone, including the Viertelstein, which stands in the middle of a field.

The Rotmainquelle, beautifully situated and beautifully framed.

It's beautiful how the clear water rushes over the mossy rocks. It's not one of the big waterfalls, but it's enchanting nonetheless.

Because of its wild and romantic appearance, the Teufelsloch became a tourist destination in the 19th century. Richard Wagner also visited here often and stopped off at the Waldhütte. In the second half of the 19th century, the two-arched sandstone bridge was finally built, spanning the deep gorge and allowing access from Oberwaiz to the Waldhütte restaurant. The Teufelsloch has been a nature reserve since 1941.

Unfortunately it was dry when we visited, so it's best to visit after the snow has melted or there has been heavy rain.

I think the source is beautifully prepared and does credit to the Main. Compared to other river sources, such as the Lahn, one source can be clearly seen here. No one can say exactly which rivulets that flow together somewhere eventually form the Main. Thank God it was set that way in the past and that's a good thing.
