At 594 meters, the Sophienberg is the highest mountain around Bayreuth and at the same time the local mountain of the residence and festival city. Until the 17th century the mountain was still called Culmberg or Culm.

Rotmain Spring

Highlight • River

Here in Lindenhardt Forest south of Bayreuth the Red Main springs from its source. It gets its name because of the entrained sediments, which make it appear reddish. After 72 kilometers, he joins Kulmbach with the White Main.
