April 20, 2026, Zollwehrsteg Bridge Over the Rodach

Without this bridge, it would be difficult to get to Kronach by bike on natural paths and vice versa.

There used to be up to 150 sawmills along the streams in the Franconian Forest valleys. The sawmill at the blast furnace in the Steinach Valley ceased operation in 1980.

The town hall was built in 1689/1690. The baroque half-timbered building stands on the site of the former castle grounds and is a landmark of the town. It is considered one of the most important examples of Franconian carpentry around 1700. The building is approximately 18 meters long, 12 meters wide, and 20 meters high. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rathaus_(Burgkunstadt)
