The best walks and hikes around Heinersreuth

On the bank on the opposite side, there is a resting bench from which you have a direct view of the confluence of Mistelbach and Red Main.

The Richard Wagner Festival Theatre is located on the Grüner Hügel (Green Hill) in Bayreuth. Built between 1872-1875. A park with an idyllic lake and some benches adjoins the Festival Theatre. Every year, exclusively from July 25 to August 28, it is used as part of the Bayreuth Festival with operas or music dramas by Wagner in 30 performances. It is considered one of the opera houses with the best acoustics worldwide.

Possibly dismount and push the bike

The Roter Main is the longer of the two headwaters of the Main river and significantly shapes the cityscape of Bayreuth. The river owes its name to the clayey soils of its catchment area. Especially after rainfall, reddish clay particles are washed into the water, giving it a characteristic reddish-brown color. It originates in the Lindenhardter Forst in the Franconian Switzerland, about 10 kilometers south of Bayreuth. At around 72 to 73 kilometers, it is significantly longer than the Weißer Main. Near Kulmbach (Schloss Steinenhausen), it merges with the Weißer Main to form the actual Main river.

The Wiesenmühle (also called Unterkonnersreuther Mühle) is a historic grist and saw mill in Unterkonnersreuth, a district of Heinersreuth. It is located directly on the Roten Main river and looks back on a history of over 600 years. The mill was first documented in 1398 in the Landbuch A. Today's main building is a two-story building with a gable roof, bearing the year 1796, but is considerably older in its core. As a protected monument, it is an important testimony to the regional history of milling. For over ten generations (from 1603 to 1904), the mill was run by the Hähn/Hahn family. A tombstone of the miller Martin Hahn from 1701 can still be seen today at the baroque rectory in Bindlach. It formerly served as a combined grist and saw mill. The milling operation continued until 1963, while the sawmill was in operation until 1975. The entire 19th-century grain mill technology is excellently preserved over three floors. Today, the mill's water power is used for electricity generation.

The confluence of the Mistelbach (also simply called Mistel) and the Roter Main is an important water management and geographical point in Bayreuth. The Mistelbach flows into the Roter Main as a left tributary in the western part of Bayreuth, near the Volksfestplatz and the Rotmain-Center. While the watercourse is mostly called "Mistel" in the surrounding area, the designation "Mistelbach" is common within the city limits. For a long time, the Mistelbach was trapped in an artificial concrete bed. In recent years, however, parts of the stream have been renatured to allow fish to ascend via ramps and to improve the ecological condition. The area around the confluence is central to the city's flood protection. The Roter Main has been partially channelized in the urban area to prevent floods (like the severe flood of 1995).
