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.

Very nice route, well signposted, apart from about 250 minutes of gravel, everything is on very good asphalt.
