Baunach is generally worth a detour. The Felsenkeller has nice staff, delicious Reckendorfer beer, and has been under new management since October 25th. Recommended

The bridge is known for its impressive panorama. From this vantage point, one of the most beautiful views upstream of the former fishing village unfolds, with its medieval half-timbered houses and boat moorings situated directly on the water. In the distance, the striking Old Town Hall, built in the middle of the river, can be seen.
