Like most river sources, it's rather unspectacular, but if you're planning to cycle the Main cycle path anyway...

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 place to stop, delicious food, sweets and coffee, but it's already quite old.

More than quaint, a bit run down, but good food, cakes and drinks.
