Highlight • Natural Monument

Beautiful source on the northeastern slope of the Ochsenkopf near Bischofsgrün. Good accessibility, as well as opportunities to relax (benches, etc.). The White Main unites west of Kulmbach with the Red Main and flows at Mainz in the Rhine.

The Naab (Fichtelnaab) is 42 kilometers long. Its origin lies at the southern foot of the Ochsenkopf, where numerous rivulets flow together and unite with the captured Naab spring. The Fichtelnaabquelle is 867 meters above sea level in a high forest. The source is about 800 meters southeast of the Weißmainquelle. There is a shelter next to the Fichtelnaabquelle.

A popular destination for hiking. There are benches here and you can refill the water bottle.

Located directly on the B303, you will also find Gasthaus zum Karches not far away. Here you can eat very well.

At a height of 887 m, the White Main rises on the eastern slope of the Ochsenkopf, also known as the "Princely Fountain". Ever since it was bordered in 1827 with the inscription "Weißmainquelle", the spring has been a welcome stop on the Ochsenkopf ascent. Even Goethe is said to have taken a refreshing drop here, which I was denied during my visit today, as it really only "dribbled".

From the Karches-See or Karches-Weiher with the Waldrasthaus Karches (hiking car park) the Goetheweg leads to the Weißmainfelsen, the Weißmainquelle and the Ochsenkopf summit. You can also hike the Weißmain nature trail to the Bischofsgrün valley station here.
