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.

September 13, 2021,Mainradtour 2021 1. Etappe: Bayreuth - Rotmainquelle - Bayreuth ☀️🚵‍♂️🥵

After 6 hours of train travel, a visit to the Rotmainquelle was announced as a compulsory stage before the main tour ... it's a shame that it wasn't a red wine source 😂

May 15, 2023,Mainradweg - von Creußen nach Bayreuth über Rotmainquelle

1 stage on the Main Cycle Path via the Rotmainquelle was very varied! Wind farm in the water protection area and source origin is a great local recreation area in Bayreuth. Then the beautiful student city of Bayreuth with a wide range of restaurants and an excellent ambience in the old town. Definitely worth a trip.

After a 12 hour train ride we finally arrived in Creussen. From there we made our way to the source of the Rotmain. Then we drove to Bayreuth to end the day of arrival with a delicious knuckle and a few beers.

Source of the Red Main... compared to other sources rather "poor"... what a pity
