It is a right tributary of the Main and is 22.4 km (13.9 mi) long. It begins at the Aschaffquelle near Waldaschaff. Loosely translated the name Aschaff means "ash water". The largest tributary is the Laufach. The river flows mostly parallel to the Bundesautobahn 3 (Motorway). For the construction of the noise barrier there, the river bed was moved and straightened.
Now the Aschaff flows in the city of Aschaffenburg. It flows through the districts Damm and Strietwald. In Mainaschaff near the city limits of Aschaffenburg the Aschaff empties into the Main.

gollark: Or maybe something more sinister like iConnect™.
gollark: iISP™, obviously.
gollark: Since it'll have no screen, you'll need to buy an external device to interface with it over iBluetooth, which is of course incompatible with regular Bluetooth.
gollark: The iPhone 20, which will have a pretentious name like the "iPhone Xyzzy PlusProS™", will just be a solid 2mm-thick slab of aluminum which will be interacted with entirely wirelessly and have a battery life of 10 minutes.
gollark: I don't think I have any over £30, and most of the games I like are cheaper than that.
