Geography.
Location.
The municipal territory extends on both sides of the Main about halfway between Würzburg and Aschaffenburg in Lower Franconia. The town of Lohr is on the eastern slope of the Spessart at a bend in the river Main, which twirls towards the south here, forming the beginning of the "Mainviereck" ("Main Square" – the southern part of the Spessart). In Lohr, the river Lohr releases into the Main. Perhaps for its geographical location or the fact that two major valleys lead into the inside of the range, the town is known as the "Gateway to the Spessart" ("Tor zum Spessart").
The Main river valley is steep with an elevation change from 160 m above sea level at Gemünden dropping to 100 m above sea level at Hanau. The river Main in its natural state is a fast-moving stream unsuitable for shipping.
