    Who would expect the center of Franconia to be in the middle of the forest?
    Good thing that two flags mark the place, otherwise you would pass quickly

      Two lonely flags in the forest near the small town of Ochsenschenkel mark the geographical center of Franconia.

      Unfortunately, no board or the like explains the meaning of the flags. In contrast to the Dreifrankenstein, about 10 km away, where the borders of the three Franconian administrative districts meet.

        The red/white one is Franconian, the green/white one with the clog in the crest stands for Vestenbergsgreuth
