St. Vitus Catholic Parish Church

Highlight • Religious Site

In 1410 the church was attached to the fortified church and 14 houses were built right next to the wall. Before that there was already a Gothic church with a cemetery on the same site.
Next to the parish church is the youth home where the Hirschaid scouts St. Vitus meet every week.

Regnitzschleife Wässerwiesen near Hirschaid

Highlight • Structure

This centuries-old system of ditches and small weirs used to lead the water from the rivers to the meadows. This served to increase the yield of grass and hay on sandy, water-permeable and often nutrient-poor soils.

Rhine–Main–Danube Canal at Neuses

Highlight • River

The highest waterway in Europe

The 171 kilometer long Main-Danube Canal was opened to traffic on September 25, 1992. It begins in Kelheim an der Donau, then runs through the Altmühltal and over the low mountain range of the Franconian Jura. In this area it is the highest waterway in Europe (406 meters above sea level). It extends further to Nuremberg, then merges into the Regnitz near Forchheim to connect to the Main 7 kilometers below Bamberg.
