1) a lack of access to and visibility of drinking water along the Main River Cycle Route - 2) a lack of appreciation for and knowledge about drinking water, its advantages and how to protect it, in the population - 3) a lack of awareness by stakeholders in the tourism industry and in municipalities of the necessity and ways to provide drinking water and to protect water bodies

In cooperation with Franconia Tourism Association, Flussparadies Franken, local water suppliers and authorities we will increase the number of Refill Stations along the route and encourage as well as consult municipalities on how to build public drinking fountains (indoors and outdoors) and make them visible to thirsty guests. The goal is for cyclists to be able to refill their bottles every 10 km on average along the way.
Refill Stations are places (e.g. bakeries, shops or public buildings) where people can refill their bottles with tap water for free, signalled by a blue sticker. Considering rising temperatures and an enormous amount of plastic waste through bottled water, Refill Stations will be part of a future oriented, climate-resilient region.
