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.

Weissmain Rocks

Highlight • Natural Monument

Very nice view over the summits of the Fichtelgebirge (Ochsenkopf, Schneeberg, Nußhardt) - very worthwhile. In good weather, the view extends to about 50 kilometers.

Karchesweiher

Highlight • Lake

Numerous hiking trails start from this small lake and the adjacent car park. Since the Karchessee is located directly on the B 303, it is not so idyllic.
