The Hufgraben is a creek almost three kilometers long in Lower Franconia , which, coming from the southwest , flows into the Main from the left .

course

The Hufgraben rises in the southwestern Maindreieck on the Marktheidenfelder Platte at an altitude of about 305  m above sea level. NN from an intermittent source in a meadow in the Neuberg corridor just under a hundred meters from the northeastern outskirts of Waldbüttelbrunn .

It initially flows about three hundred meters northeast through fields and meadows, turning gradually to the northeast, then soon runs northeast again along the northwest edge of a small coniferous forest and then passes the boundary to Zell am Main . The stream now runs eastwards through the Hintere Zeller Rangen corridor along the northern edge of a mixed forest, then leaves the open corridor at the Mittlerer Zeller Rangen and enters the forest. Accompanied by the state road St 2298 (here Hettstadter Steige ) leading from Hettstadt to Zell, it now flows through a narrow, wooded valley, changes to the northeast and then forms the border from Zell to Würzburg .

He is now running at the southern foot of the Zeller mountain ( 290  m above sea level. NN ) almost four hundred meters along the border, then reaches the Zeller district Obernzell and disappears there verdolt underground. It crosses Frankfurter Strasse (St 2300) underground at the Antoniushaus , then runs north west of the main road under the grounds of the Oberzell monastery , then turns sharply east-northeast at the St.Klara-Haus and finally ends in the 133.02 Maintal natural area near Veitshöchheim piped at a height of 168.5  m above sea level. NN in Oberzell a good two hundred meters above the Laurentiusbrücke from the left into the Main flowing in from the southeast .
