Great butcher shop (one of two in town). Excellent homemade sausages at a reasonable price. The products are very good, especially the "Wet City Sausage" – it's fantastic!

An extremely important habitat for plants and animals. It's beautifully designed, with beautiful signs that explain what's crawling and flying around there. Unfortunately, there are always some idiots who stick stickers or graffiti on these signs – what a pity!

The fortified church in Hannberg with its striking five-button tower, which is particularly common in Franconia, can be seen from afar; it is a real landmark.

The Hannberg fortified church is a fortified defensive structure of the Church of the Nativity of Mary in Hannberg (municipality of Heßdorf), ten kilometers west of the city of Erlangen in Middle Franconia. The town of Hannberg played a strategic role as early as the 11th century due to its location on the trade route between Bamberg, Würzburg and the royal estates in Büchenbach and Herzogenaurach. Hannberg was first mentioned in a document in 1065 under the name "Hagenberch" in a gift certificate from the Bishop of Bamberg.
