That's near Abenberg, not near Burgbernheim.

A gang saw is a machine used in a sawmill for cutting logs or natural stone blocks. It is driven by a flywheel, usually via a flat belt. The flywheel moves a frame, which is guided by guides or suspended by rockers, up and down via stilts (roughly equivalent to a connecting rod), normally at around 270 to 320 strokes per minute, but with modern machines at up to 450 strokes per minute. One or more saw blades are clamped into this frame, the distance between which is adjustable.

You feel like you're in the mountains. You can already hear the bells hanging on the Highland cattle from afar. If you're lucky, they'll be very close to the wooden walkways.

A very nice mini golf course, partly under trees. Ice cream, drinks, and small snacks are also available there.
