The people of Rothenbuch and Weibersbrunner used to meet at the so-called “dancing tree”. There, people celebrated, danced and sang, or so the “old people” say. After the previous dancing tree, an approximately 500-year-old oak, collapsed some time ago, a new tree was planted on the initiative of the Bavarian State Forests.

The Hafenlohrtal is worth a trip because it leads through green nature and is great for relaxation. Paths lead along the stream and a boardwalk over wet meadows. When we were there there was still a herd of goats that took care of nature conservation.

The Gasthof Hoher Knuck is idyllically situated on the Hafenlohr, which flows into the Main after about 25 km.
