The Nantenbach Curve (German: Nantenbacher Kurve or Verbindungskurve Nantenbach) is the name of a connecting curve between the Main-Spessart Railway and the Hanover–Würzburg high-speed line. Coming from Aschaffenburg the line branches off towards Würzburg, about five kilometres (three miles) northeast of Lohr, in the cadastral district of Nantenbach, in the community of Neuendorf. From the Main-Spessart line, the railway turns in a wide curve to the southeast to a junction at the Rohrbach operating station on the Hanover–Würzburg line.
