Franconian Stonehenge near Tiefenpölz

Highlight • Monument

The owner of the property, a building contractor from Heiligenstadt, was so taken with the prehistoric original from England that he completed a copy of the famous world cultural heritage site in May 2024, albeit in a smaller version, after an initial version in autumn 2023. Instead of the stones of the original, which were up to seven metres high and weighed up to 40 tonnes, the largest stone here is still three metres high and weighs around seven tonnes. A wedding couple was apparently so fascinated by this Franconian Stonehenge that they got married here in a free ceremony. (Source: Fränkischer Tag newspaper, July 16, 2024)

Ruins of the Gothic Chapel at Schloss Greifenstein

Highlight • Historical Site

The mystical-looking ruin of the neo-gothic chapel still captivates the visitor today. The chapel construction stands on the northern edge of the former and now unfortunately verwilderten park of castle Greifenstein. The upper chapel room with the three gothic windows facing south and north is almost defiant. The wooden vaults are destroyed today, the false ceiling is broken, as well as the outer sunrise. The whole system is collapse risk.

Kreuzstein Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Kreuzstein, the hiker has a wonderful panoramic view down to Oberleinleiter and the Leinleitertal. The attached seating area invites you to linger and enjoy the view. In August 2017, hitherto unknown perpetrators smeared the natural monument with white paint.

Dry Valley to the Herold Mill

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

Fantastically beautiful. After a lot of rain or snowmelt, the valley turns into a river, then the big tumbler goes full throttle.
