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)

St. John's Church The small village church in the heart of Erlach is a small gem. A fresco uncovered during the renovation (1988-1993), depicting Herodia and Salome and the beheaded John, bears the date 1504 in one spot. The pottery shards discovered ten centimeters below the floor during the renovation were dated to 1250 or shortly thereafter. Albert Verbeek, a recognized expert on Romanesque architecture, dates the church to the Romanesque period (1020-1250). Special thanks go to Pastor Rudolf Langhans, who saved the church from demolition and initiated the renovation work. A 16th-century wall painting can be seen in St. John's Church in Erlach.
