Blutsee-Moor near Kleinrinderfeld, beautiful there.

The trail leads through the Irtenberger Wald protected area, past numerous interesting natural features, such as the so-called "Blutsee," a lowland moor. A very beautiful and idyllic setting. On foot, please avoid the Blutsee in the crescent shape. You have to leave the main path 😃. Not suitable for bikes; only possible on foot. Mosquito repellent recommended. There are tree trunks along the trail that you have to climb. Most of them are quite deep. In some places, it's best to walk to the left or right of the trunks.

In the mid-1950s, many Kister houses often lacked the necessary water pressure. On days with high water consumption, and in the upper village, the water supply was insufficient. In cooperation with the Bavarian State Office for Water Supply and Water Protection and an engineering firm from Nuremberg, a solution was found: the construction of a water tower. CONSTRUCTION Otto Seubert, former Kister mayor, reported on the positive negotiations regarding the land acquisition for the necessary tower site at the municipal council meeting on March 14, 1959. On January 30, 1960, the building application was submitted to the municipal council for approval. The contract for the execution of the work was approved on March 5, 1960. The contract was awarded to a Munich company at the bid price of 249,472.28 Deutsche Marks (DM).

A book-like inn!!! What a place to stop for a break, what hospitality, what cuisine. As always, curious as ever, I looked at the menu. What I'm always looking for, not just the currywurst and schnitzel. They invited me in, and that was the final spark. I felt very comfortable. Another advantage: The tram to the main station is 100 meters from here. http://postkutscherl.de/
