St. Leonhard Field Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Beautiful little chapel by the wayside, built in 2008 by the Windschiegl and Punzmann families. Saint Leonhard is the patron saint for "peasant concerns" and is therefore also called "peasant god" or "Bavarian Lord God".

Tischstein Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Tischstein is located in the idyllic Waldnaab Valley near the log cabin and is a single granite rock. Even if it looks as if the “table top” could fall into the water at any moment, the stone is heavy on its base. There are also several whirlpool holes on the table stone.

The (Devil’s) Butter Barrel

Highlight • Natural Monument

Between Sauerbrunnen and the cabin there is a narrow passage with a steep slope. Whirlpools (stand rollers) have ground here with millstones swirl holes and through sand and gravel so-called pseudo-mud holes in the granite. The hydropower necessary for the swirl hole formation comes from the comparatively large gradient at the bottleneck at the churn. Here we have a level difference of approx. 4 meters on a course of approx. 40 meters, between Falkenberg and Windischeschenbach it is only 40 meters in total on 15 km.

Sour Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

The carbonic acid, iron and sulfur leading source on the right bank of the Waldnaab directly on the trail between Kammerwagen and Butterfaß is called Sauerbrunnen. It concerns a Säuerling (constriction source) presumably the Nachhall of the tertiary volcanism in northeast Bavaria is to be assigned. The water of the sour well is in the majority not as "savory" felt. The cause lies mainly in the iron content.
