A wonderful place for leisurely hiking. Wide valley, hardly any inclines and not a plane in sight ✈️ in the sky.

The Hafenlohr is a 26.5 km (27.7 km with Tiergartenbach) long right tributary of the Main in the districts of Aschaffenburg and Main-Spessart in the Bavarian Spessart. The Hafenlohr originates from two springs in the municipality of Rothenbuch. The longer and sometimes more water-rich spring is the Tiergartenbach, which often dries up on dry days. Officially, it is considered the upper course of the main watercourse of the Hafenlohr. The spring named Hafenlohrquelle, in the middle of the village, provides water almost all year round. The Hafenlohrquelle is located at Rothenbuch Castle. It was channeled in sandstone during the widening of the St 2317 road. Its water flows through the castle moat northwestward and flows, after about a hundred meters, from the left side into the bed of the Tiergartenbach, which comes from the Tiergartengrund on the northern edge of the village and is already 1.3 km long. It does not supply water all year round, but at times more than the also perennial spring at the castle. The spring at the castle was probably once a meeting point for hunting in the eastern Spessart, which is why the construction of a hunting lodge began here in 1342. The spring water fed the castle moat and several surrounding trout ponds, which no longer exist. Source and further information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafenlohr_(Fluss)
