The small lake invites you to take a break. The Reichelsburg is located a little higher up next to the small lake. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichelsburg. This ruin is definitely worth seeing

Kunigunden Chapel on the Altenberg

Highlight • Religious Site

The lime tree on the west side of the Kunigundenkapelle is about 1000 years old and thus a natural monument of a very special kind. Supported and preserved only as an old trunk with shoots, it is wider than high. The trunk is completely empty in the middle. Despite its age, Linde drives out every year. According to legend, one of the three veils in the lime tree, which the Empress Kunigunde threw out of the church tower in faraway Bamberg, was said to have been built with the vow to build churches there, where the veils would be found. The tree cave can be entered, it has a diameter of about two meters. How many hikers and pilgrims were already sitting in their shadow?

Kunigundenstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

A weathered shell limestone rock, which leads south-east of the footpath down into the Gollachtal, is reminiscent of Saint Kunigunde. Legend has it that this is where, just before reaching the chapel, the saint knelt and propped herself up in prayer, resulting in the hand and knee imprints visible as hollows in the stone.

Ford at the Gollach

Highlight • River

High above the Gollach you come to a place that is still one of the few ways to get to the other side of the meadow today, a water ford.

The imposing Aub Castle, a multi-winged complex, forms the northeastern corner of the town's fortifications.
