Geiskirche Cave

Highlight • Cave

The mighty rock hall of the Geiskirche, open on two sides, with the massive rock pillar is located on hiking trail 3 to the Easter cave. The dimensions of this large cave are remarkable with a length of 20 m, a width of 8 to 13 m and a height of up to 3.50 m. It is no coincidence that this hall-like cave was used as a shelter for animals and also for parties. Because of the ice formation, a visit to the wide-open cave is particularly attractive even in winter.

Bärenloch near Lockenricht

Highlight • Cave

In the middle of a wonderful rock arena, on the northern slope of the Lenzenberg, the 11m wide entrance to the Bärenloch opens. Here you have to crawl to get inside. Behind the entrance you can stand upright again and you are in a rock room, the rock hall, with a total length of 40 m, the width is up to 14 m. There is still a little sintered jewelry, but it has suffered a lot from contact with mankind and is often sooty black. Remains of cave bears and cave lions were found in this grotto. Like the beggar's kitchen, the beggar's kitchen and the Geiskirche, the bear hole was Babette Hauser's residence, the rock bear.

Buchberg Cave

Highlight • Cave

The entrance cannot be overlooked and an approximately 18 m long corridor follows. There are some plants in the entrance, e.g. Ferns. It is a crevasse, it's worth a look.

Goglhof Open-Air Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

The Goglhof was built in 1767 mainly from the dowry of a miller's daughter from Holnstein, who married here in 1765. The profile framework on the east gable is unique in the Upper Palatinate. The ceiling of the room and the decorations in the roof truss testify to the craftsmanship of the carpenters of the time.

At its core, the house is still as it was back then, as many hundreds of farmhouses in this area with the black kitchen and the German fireplace and the spacious room around the sedate tiled stove. In the outbuildings you can see a collection of old agricultural implements and much more.

Where the mill once clattered – Mill/Oberreinbach

Highlight • Monument

A Jura landscape tells - Station 10: Grain mill in Oberreinbach - Grain mills there were only in the relatively water-rich northeast of the church Neukirche, in Steinbach, Oberreinbach and Holnstein. As the last of the three mills, the flour mill in Oberreinbach was shut down in 1975. The mill was fed with water from 3 streams, the Schlierbach, the Eiselbach and the Mühlbach coming from Steinbach.
