Felsendorf Krögelstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

The picturesque rock village of Krögelstein in northern Franconian Switzerland is nestled in the narrow valley of the Kaiserbach. The fields are on the heights and the meadows in the upper and lower valley. The arch of an old brickwork, the remnant of the castle of the Knights of Crogelstein, arches over a narrow rock gorge below the church. In July 1523, soldiers of the Swabian League set fire to the castle and placed four tons of powder under the large waiting tower, which lifted it from the ground and plunged it into the ditch. The landmark of the village is the "Old Fritz", a 30 meter high dolomite rock. Also worth mentioning are the "Sweden rock" and the "Lion rock", which has the shape of a lying lion.

Historic Old Town of Hollfeld

Highlight • Historical Site

The historic old town of Hollfeld is overlooked by the former St. Gangolf Church with its fortified tower as a symbol of the city of Hollfeld. The Gangolfsturm with the old tower house offers a beautiful all-round view of Hollfeld and the surrounding area.
Marienplatz in the Upper City has the early medieval character of a township.
The Kastanienallee, laid out in 1929, and the green spaces give Marienplatz a neat appearance. For centuries, the cattle and annual markets, which were of great economic importance for Hollfeld and the surrounding area, were held here. Even today there are regular markets on this square.
The jewels of Marienplatz are the renovated town houses and the town hall, which was built in its current form after the great fire of 1724. The three-storey gabled house shows the city arms and the arms of the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg and Bamberg. Immediately next to it is the Wittauerhaus, which shows rare herringbone-like ceilings, half-timbered walls, stencil paintings and other special features inside the building.

Wiesentfels Castle

Highlight • Castle

Wiesentfels Castle is a rock castle above the Wiesentfels district. Although the castle is privately owned, it can be visited. A board at the gate provides information about the castle tours.
From 1333 to 1938 the castle was owned by the Counts of Giech. Knight Albert von Giech received the castle as a fief in 1333 from the Bishopric of Bamberg. In 1412, two-thirds of the castle was given to Heinz von Schaumberg as Unterwiesentfels, and in 1415 a third of the castle was given to Hans II von Giech as Oberwiesentfels.
It was here at Wiesentfels Castle that the 2017 film "Famous Five - In the Valley of the Dinosaurs" was filmed. The Adventures of Julian, "Dick" (Richard), "George" (Georgina), Anne and Timmy the Dog are detective stories by Enid Blyton. She wrote 21 volumes about the experiences of the five friends.

The brewery restaurant Hübner in Steinfeld on the B22 direction Hollfeld is the starting point or rest stop for many hiking and biking tours. In addition, many climbing rocks are nearby. For example, on the Steinfelder Wand or in the Paradise Valley. Far beyond the boundaries of the county you know the tasty full beer, which is also called Otto beer.

In addition to a beer garden, there are really delicious snacks and homemade cakes in the restaurant. More about the brewery restaurant under: huebner-braeu.de
