Max-Marien Healing Spring Bad Steben

Highlight • Natural Monument

A beautiful rest area with a healing spring. The Max-Marien spring provides a calcium bicarbonate acidic spring. Bottles of the healing water can be brought along from the well house in Langenau. The calcium-rich water stimulates kidney function and is recommended for gout and diseases of the urinary tract.

Ködeltalsperre — Southern End

Highlight • Lake

The Mauthaus drinking water dam - called "Ködeltalsperre" - is one of the largest of its kind in Bavaria. An 11.5 km long asphalt path leads around the "Frankenwaldfjord" and is ideal for hiking, cycling or inline skating.

The Mauthaus drinking water dam is located in the valley of the Nurner Ködel, a tributary to the Rodach, approx. 20 kilometers northeast of Kronach. It was built from 1968 to 1972 to supply drinking water. As a secondary purpose, it serves flood protection, increasing low water levels and generating electricity from hydropower. It was put into operation in 1975 and was the first drinking water dam in Bavaria.
The water body may not be used for water sports, which contributes significantly to drinking water quality.
