In the Landgasthof Haueis you can take a wonderful break from hiking and enjoy the good Franconian cuisine. It is particularly nice to sit on the terrace. You can also spend the night in the inn, the landlords have specially adapted to hiking guests.

Bench of Secrets

Highlight • Viewpoint

"The Club of the Oppressed Men of Bonn" donated this bank. There is a letter box hanging from the tree with a booklet in it, in which you can write down your "bank secrets". The club meets regularly in the Franconian Forest, then visits this bank and looks into the mysterious mailbox.

Achatzmühle Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The Achatzmühle was built in 1602/1603 and was initially known as the Rothenbühler or Hermes Mühle. In 1694 it was bought by Achatz Huebner and was given its later name from him: Mühle des Achatz.

After the Second World War, the mill was shut down. The main building burned down in 1971, so that nothing can be seen of the mill itself today. Only the chapel, built in 1922, is still there.
