A large part of the meadow is under water, but unfortunately I didn't see any beavers or dams.

The town of Pautzfeld was first mentioned in documents in 1129 as "Butesfeld". At that time, the town belonged to the parish of St. Martin Forchheim. On September 2nd, 1370, Pautzfeld was elevated to an independent parish by the establishment of a mass benefice and was an independent parish until the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). From then on, the parish was looked after from Seußling until 1751. The church was redesigned during this period. The small Gothic fortified church was enlarged to the west and at the same time given a Baroque makeover. This conversion took place in 1710/11. The Gothic choir dates back to the 14th century and is the oldest part of the church.

The hiking trail is partially permitted on a path through the company premises. Not a given, and one more reason to stay on the paths.

The pond is idyllically embedded in the forest and you will find a covered rest area here that invites you to linger and relax.

And the valley keeps changing... In my childhood there were actually still the "water meadows". It's also a pity that the beaver causes quite a bit of damage. The beautiful ancient pastures at the Grossenoherbach have fallen victim to him. But still always a beautiful place in every season! Recommended, of course, because it's home 🥰

After the covered Raastplatz, there is this bench by the lake after 80 meters. After that it doesn't make sense to go any further because Gesrut.
