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.

The Langenau Floating Pond is a historic pond in the Langenau Valley in the Franconian Forest, formerly used for timber rafting. Today, it is a nature reserve and an important habitat, particularly for beavers, who have their burrows there.

From here, you can access several of the Franconian Forest's main hiking trails. The "Säuerlingsweg DÖ 97" also starts from this free parking lot.

The pond was built on behalf of the Bavarian king to raise the water level in the Langenau in order to float the felled timber towards the Main

During our visit in June, at 24 degrees Celsius, we didn't see any deer or stags. The animals are probably seeking shady spots during the warmer hours of sunshine.
