May 31, 2026, Ellrodtweg Cycle Path Along the Red Main, Bayreuth

Mostly directly on the banks of the Rotmain on shady avenues lined with a few benches, hikers and cyclists share the asphalted route.

In a residential area of Weidenberg, there is another private observatory on a rooftop. This one is located on the old trade route.

The Schafsteg (Sheep Footbridge) is a small but important bridge for hikers and walkers, spanning the Red Main River in this wooded area near Aichig, a district of Bayreuth. Located in a natural woodland setting, the footbridge is situated slightly outside the city center. It is an important part of the network of long-distance mountain hiking trails, allowing hikers and cyclists to cross the Red Main, for example, on routes leading towards Emtmannsberg or the source of the Red Main. Originally, the Schafsteg was a wooden structure. However, due to significant moisture damage over time and compromised stability, the city of Bayreuth replaced the bridge in 2018.
