October 6, 2026, Hafenlohrtal Valley

The Hafenlohr is a 26.5 km (27.7 km with Tiergartenbach) long, right tributary of the Main in the districts of Aschaffenburg and Main-Spessart in the Bavarian Spessart. The Hafenlohr originates from two springs in the municipality of Rothenbuch. The longer and at times more water-rich source is the Tiergartenbach, which often dries up on dry days. Officially, it is considered the upper course of the main water body of the Hafenlohr. The origin named Hafenlohrquelle in the middle of the village provides water almost all year round. The Hafenlohrquelle is located at Schloss Rothenbuch. It was channeled in sandstone during the widening of the road St 2317. Its water flows through the castle moat northwestward and flows into the bed of the Tiergartenbach about a hundred meters later from the left side, which flows from the Tiergartengrund on the northern edge of the village and is already 1.3 km long. It does not supply water all year round, but at times more than the also perennial spring at the castle. The spring at the castle was probably a meeting point for hunting in the eastern Spessart in the past, which is why the construction of a hunting lodge began here in 1342. The castle moat and some surrounding trout lakes, which no longer exist today, were fed with the emerging spring water.

Das Pumpspeicherkraftwerk Langenprozelten zwischen dem namensgebenden Ort und Partenstein im unterfränkischen Landkreis Main-Spessart (Bayern) wurde 1976 in Betrieb genommen. Es liefert nur Bahnstrom und ist ein wichtiges Spitzenlastkraftwerk im Bahnstromnetz. Eigentümer ist die Donau-Wasserkraft AG. Das Wasserkraftwerk hat mit seinen zwei Francis-Pumpturbinen eine Turbinenleistung von 164 MW und eine Pumpleistung von 154 Megawatt. Das Oberbecken liegt etwa 300 Höhenmeter oberhalb des Unterbeckens und ist mit diesem durch einen 1,3 km langen Druckstollen von nahezu vier Meter Durchmesser verbunden. Die maximale Fallhöhe ist 320 m. Das Oberbecken hat ein Fassungsvermögen von ca. 1,5 Mio. m³. Das maximale Energiespeichervermögen beträgt 950 MWh. Das im Unterbecken gestaute Gewässer ist der Sindersbach, der im Sommer meistens kein Wasser führt, deshalb wird bei Bedarf aus einem weiteren Rückhaltebecken, das 1,2 km unterhalb des Unterbeckens liegt, Wasser hochgepumpt.

The Hohen Knuck no longer exists. Otherwise, I would recommend it.

The Hafenlohrtal is wonderfully quiet. And so beautiful.
