Health fountain

Highlight • Natural

This spring (“fountain” is a very benevolent term) on the slope just east of the “Eiserner Steg” over the Red Main is barely visible anymore. Its water is channeled into the Main via old pipes.

Eiserner Steg Over the Roter Main

Highlight • Bridge

The "Eiserner Steg" (Iron Bridge) that crosses the Roter Main in the valley below Ottmannsreuth can hardly be confused with the famous "Eiserner Steg" (Iron Bridge) in Frankfurt, a massive iron pedestrian bridge over the Main that has been in use since 1868. Here in the idyllic Rotmain valley, just two people can pass each other on the narrow footbridge. But it is important for getting to the beautiful Rotmain-Steig from the west.

Weir and Mill Channel Junction for Schlehenmühle

Highlight • River

"In order to be able to grind during the day, the water for the sloe mill had to be dammed up at night. While the mill was in the house and the mill wheel right next to it, the weir was about half a kilometer upstream. The mill canal still branches off there today. The miller had to hike up there every morning and release the dammed water."

Sloe Mill

Highlight • Settlement

The Schlehenmühle (Sloe Mill) is situated on the banks of the Red Main River. It is one of several historic mills along the river, all of which are now privately owned. Like many of the mills on the Red Main, the Schlehenmühle has a long history, often associated with agricultural or commercial uses (such as grinding grain, but also other purposes) before it lost its original function.
