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.

Warmen Steinach Valley Bike Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A really great cycle path through the valley of the Warmen Steinach. The newly tarred cycle path runs a little above the river. There are beautiful views of the opposite slopes of the Oschenberg almost the entire way. Highly recommended!

June 8, 2023,Fichtelgebirgsrunde

We started in Bayreuth in the direction of Bischofsgrün. The last km before Bischofsgrün you cycle on the old railway line, which also ended in Bischofsgrün. Passenger services have been discontinued since 1974. The route runs parallel to the White Main. From Warmsteinach you cycle to Weidenberg, also on an old railway line: great cycle paths.
