Popular around Lindenhardter Forst-Südost
The Rote 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 clay-rich 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 Weiße Main. Near Kulmbach (Schloss Steinenhausen), it merges with the Weiße Main to form the actual Main.

Every first Sunday of the month, you can take a guided tour of the impressive castle. More information: https://www.bayreuth-tourismus.de/sehenswertes/museen/schloss-colmdorf-schloss-birken. If you just want to take a short break, a stop at the castle café or beer garden is worthwhile.

The old town hall formerly served as a sales hall for bread and meat products, a frequently used dance floor, a prison (known as the "Narrenhäuslein"), a fire extinguisher's house, and a post office. Later, it housed the savings bank. Today, the old town hall houses the residents' registration office, the passport office, the assembly hall, and the wedding hall.

Great view! 🏞 The path there isn't really suitable for road bikes... But it's only about 200m of gravel road, after turning off the main road! ;) 🫡
