Whenever it's cold for a long time, the "Hermannsbrünnle" in the Gresselgrund near Marbach shines in a frosty glow. Before milder weather puts an end to this natural spectacle in the coming days, you can admire it once again in all its glory. The sight is always fascinating for residents and walkers, because the shape the "Brünnle" takes in the Maroldsweisach district is unpredictable, but depends crucially on the weather, wind, and sunshine.

War memorial located in a green area on the Schlossberg: an octagonal temple with a dome, with images of steel helmets on oak leaves on the exterior, with bayonets pointing downwards below, and memorial plaques inside. At the rear of the green area is a kneeling figure, with commemorative plaques next to it, some arranged in a cross shape. The complex was restored between 2014 and 2022.
