Aufseß Castle Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The evangelical castle church stands in the inner courtyard of Unteraufseß Castle and is freely accessible during the day. The castle courtyard itself is private and separated by a chain and must not be entered.

The church is kept in a simple baroque style. Above the portal to the sacristy is the noble box for the von Aufseß family, which has its own access from the outside. The wall field above the noble gallery is also richly designed. Two lions hold the builder's coat of arms, above which the eye of God can be seen in a triangle with a wreath of rays. On the southern outside of the church is a heavily weathered 14th century portrait epitaph and the neo-Gothic tomb monument for Hans von Aufseß, who died in 1872, with his bust.

Hollfeld-Stechendorf railroad cycle path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The cycle path between Hollfeld and Stechendorf is officially known as the Franconian Switzerland High Trail. The path follows the former railway line between Bayreuth and Hollfeld, which was closed in 1974. Thanks to the use of the old railway line, the route is largely flat and gently sloping. From Hollfeld, the path leads along the Wiesent Valley towards Stechendorf and on to Bayreuth. It is often also referred to as a leisure cycle path or a railway line path.
