Numerous hiking trails start from this small lake and the adjacent car park. Since the Karchessee is located directly on the B 303, it is not so idyllic.

At a height of 887 m, the White Main rises on the eastern slope of the Ochsenkopf, also known as the "Princely Fountain". Ever since it was bordered in 1827 with the inscription "Weißmainquelle", the spring has been a welcome stop on the Ochsenkopf ascent. Even Goethe is said to have taken a refreshing drop here, which I was denied during my visit today, as it really only "dribbled".

From the Karches-See or Karches-Weiher with the Waldrasthaus Karches (hiking car park) the Goetheweg leads to the Weißmainfelsen, the Weißmainquelle and the Ochsenkopf summit. You can also hike the Weißmain nature trail to the Bischofsgrün valley station here.
