Beautiful village church, not well visible from the street, as it is behind thick walls. More information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Nikolaus_(Gefell)

A beautiful paved cycle path runs along the Steinach river. Suitable for virtually all types of cycling. Caution is advised only when work is being done in the fields.

The tea house at the moated castle will unfortunately be permanently closed from 2026. In the future, the café in the Old House in Neundorf will only be open every Sunday.

Narrow point of the Steinach river. The current is slowed here by large stones. This was necessary due to the straightening of the river at this location.
