Like most river sources, it's rather unspectacular, but if you're planning to cycle the Main cycle path anyway...

The imposing signal tower was built on the foundations of the former keep of a former castle and has stood proudly on the plateau for over 500 years. Those who conquer the 68 steps of the narrow spiral staircase are rewarded with a sweeping view of the Kulmbach region, extending to the Franconian Forest, the Fichtel Mountains, and the Thuringian Forest. Looking south, one can even see as far as the high plateaus of Franconian Switzerland.

The Schafsteg (Sheep Footbridge) is a small but important bridge for hikers and walkers, spanning the Red Main River in this wooded area near Aichig, a district of Bayreuth. Located in a natural woodland setting, the footbridge is situated slightly outside the city center. It is an important part of the network of long-distance mountain hiking trails, allowing hikers and cyclists to cross the Red Main, for example, on routes leading towards Emtmannsberg or the source of the Red Main. Originally, the Schafsteg was a wooden structure. However, due to significant moisture damage over time and compromised stability, the city of Bayreuth replaced the bridge in 2018.

It was completely channeled through Bayreuth. They probably wouldn't do that today either.
