Mountain biking

The Faulbach lock is one of 34 barrages that dam the Main to make it navigable for shipping. A height difference of 62m has to be overcome from the Rothenfels underwater lock to the mouth of the Rhine.

Various and spacious rest areas in the area of the lock, great views both upstream and downstream along the Main.

This is a good place for a break with a view. Benches invite you to linger.
