Steinmühle on the Weiberbach
Highlight • Structure
The stone mill on the Weiberbach in the Hafenlohrtal is located in the Rothenbuch district, but belongs ecclesiastically to the Weibersbrunn parish. The mill was probably built in 1794. The frequent changes of owners and tenants show that the mill did not make much profit. In 1912 the mill was converted into a summer resort. In 1919 the Rothenbuch municipal council discussed converting the mill into an inn. In 1923 it was leased as a hostel by the Aschaffenburg Tourist Association, which used the mill as a youth hostel from 1924 onwards. From 1926 to 1939 the so-called "Schtoa-Müller" lived in the hostel, which became a home for the Hitler Youth during the years of National Socialism. In the meantime the mill had established itself as an ideal starting point for hikers, also because of the bus connection to Aschaffenburg. In 1957, Weibersbrunn would have liked to incorporate the mill. However, the application was rejected by the Rothenbuch municipal council. In 1995, Volker Lah from Erzhausen (Hesse) bought the mill. Since then, the family has been renovating the building step by step.

View of the Monobogen Bridge and the A3
Highlight • Viewpoint
The six-lane widening of the A 3 from west of the Rohrbrunn junction to west of the Hasel Viaduct had a length of five kilometers. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on June 30, 2016. It was part of the six-lane widening of the A 3 federal autobahn from Aschaffenburg to Würzburg.
Due to this expansion of the A 3, the state road St 2312 had to be relocated over a length of 1.8 km before the motorway expansion. At the beginning of September 2017, the new route of the St 2312 was connected to the new, highly visible overpass structure of the A 3, the Monobogen. The mono arch is certainly a visual highlight of this section of the motorway.
Federal motorway A3:
The Bundesautobahn 3 (abbreviation: BAB 3) - short form: Autobahn 3 (abbreviation: A 3) - is 769 kilometers the second longest autobahn in Germany after the A 7. It leads from the Dutch border through the Ruhr area, the Cologne area and the Rhine -Main area, Franconia and East Bavaria to the Austrian border at Schärding. It connects the Dutch and Belgian North Sea ports with southern and eastern Europe and, as part of the European routes 34, 35, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 and 56, is one of the most important European transport routes.

Hafenlohrtal Scenic Road
Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway
The Hafenlohr rises from two springs in the municipality of Rothenbuch. The longer and occasionally more water-rich branch is the Tiergartenbach, which often dries up on dry days. Officially, it is considered the upper course of the Hafenlohr main watercourse. The source, known as the Hafenlohr Spring, in the center of the village provides water almost year-round.
The Hafenlohr Spring is located at Rothenbuch Castle. It was encased in sandstone during the road widening of the St 2317. Its water flows northwest through the castle moat and, after about 100 meters, flows from the left bank into the bed of the Tiergartenbach, which flows from the Tiergartengrund on the northern edge of the village and is already 1.3 km[7] long. It doesn't provide water year-round, but at times it provides more than the perennial spring at the castle.
The spring at the castle was probably once a meeting place for hunters in the eastern Spessart, which is why construction of a hunting lodge began here in 1342. The spring water fed the castle moat and several surrounding trout lakes, which no longer exist.
