Heinrichsthal is a municipality in the Lower Franconian district of Aschaffenburg and a member of the Heigenbrücken administrative community. It is the highest municipality in the entire Spessart and the smallest municipality in the Aschaffenburg district. The municipality is located in the Bavarian Lower Main region at the upper end of the Lohrbach Valley. The highest point in the municipality is the peak of Schindershöh at 522 m above sea level (location), and the lowest is at the Lohrbach stream near Unterlohrgrund at 313 m above sea level (location). The Kahltal-Spessart cycle path runs through the village. In 1636, the name of the master of a glassworks located in this region first appeared: Heinrich Fleckenstein of the glassworks in Wollersbuch. Another master glassworks owner, Jacob Fleckenstein, is also mentioned in 1639. In 1647, Heinrich Fleckenstein's glassworks was located in the Lohrgrund, but it burned down for less than 34 weeks. An account book from 1652 reveals that Heinrich and Jacob were brothers. In 1664, the two place names "Heinrichs grundt and Jacobs thael" first appeared as location designations. The latter became the present-day village of Jakobsthal. A new stage in the village's history began in 1678, when Heinrichsthal was first mentioned as a village. The first taxes had to be paid for seven houses and ten head of cattle. Heinrich Fleckenstein's initials were incorporated into the Heinrichsthal coat of arms. Source: Wikipedia

The Hafenlohr is a 26.5 km long (27.7 km including the Tiergartenbach) right tributary of the Main River in the districts of Aschaffenburg and Main-Spessart in the Bavarian Spessart region. The Hafenlohr rises from two springs in the municipality of Rothenbuch. The longer and occasionally more water-rich branch is the Tiergartenbach, which often dries up on dry days. Officially, it is considered the upper course of the Hafenlohr main watercourse. The source, known as the Hafenlohr Spring, in the center of the village provides water almost year-round. The Hafenlohr Spring is located at Rothenbuch Castle. It was encased in sandstone during the road widening of the St 2317. Its water flows northwest through the castle moat and, after about 100 meters, flows from the left bank into the bed of the Tiergartenbach, which flows from the Tiergartengrund on the northern edge of the village and is already 1.3 km[7] long. It doesn't provide water year-round, but at times it provides more than the perennial spring at the castle. The spring at the castle was probably once a meeting place for hunters in the eastern Spessart, which is why construction of a hunting lodge began here in 1342. The spring water fed the castle moat and several surrounding trout lakes, which no longer exist. Source and further information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafenlohr_(Fluss)
