St. Nicholas Bridge with bridge saints near Grasmannsdorf

Highlight • Bridge

Nikola bridge over the Rauhe Ebrach and the Sauerwiesgraben at Grasmannsdorf, market Burgebrach: View from direction Grasmannsdorf. On the northwest side of the bridge are statues of saints.
It was only in the 18th century that the splendid row of Grasmannsdorfer Brückenheiligen was built, as it is still today. After the bridge saints Nicholas and John Nepomuk joined in the years 1715-1740 still five other saints, namely Kilian, Vitus, Wolfgang, Heinrich and Otto. They are not pronounced bridge saints, but are witnesses to the history of this country. But why seven bridge saints? This number could be interpreted as a meaningful element in the series of numerical symbols: seven-branched candlesticks, seven fat and seven lean years, or in the New Testament and the Christian tradition: petition of the Our Father, number of virtues, sacraments, gifts of the Holy Spirit, Works of mercy, among others For many, the juxtaposition of the bridle saints may be little more than an odd, perhaps coincidental performance of saints, but they are significant as works of art and as testimony of historical contexts.

Highlight • Restaurant

Best wheat beer far and wide. The Zwetschgabamers (raw beef ham) is a treat. :D

Lisberg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Lisberg Castle is one of the oldest surviving castles in Germany and is the only intact castle in the Steigerwald. Hans Fischer, who had been reviving the castle with passion and commitment since 1968, died in 2016, but sold the castle to the Bamberg auctioneer Johann Sebök while he was still alive.

Hotzelt Memorial Rest Area

Highlight • Monument

The highlight created here is located in the western district of Bamberg, slightly above Lisberg, which is the northern gateway to the Steigerwald Nature Park. In addition to various leisure activities and well-signposted bike paths, cozy restaurants offer Franconian specialties as well as home-brewed beer. In this region, 14 breweries offer their home-brewed beer over 14 kilometers. The varied field-forest landscape together with the valley landscape of the Aurach and the hedges and wild banks are ideal for hiking, biking and experiencing nature.
