    The stone bag is the landmark of the city of Waischenfeld. The tower stands on a rock plateau. It is 13 meters high and was built in the 13th century. He belongs to the castle Waischenfeld.

      Waischenfeld Castle was first mentioned in 1122.
      The symbol of the city, the "stone bag" stands west of the city on a rocky plateau. The round tower, about 13 meters high, stands on a limestone cliff and formed the northernmost part of Waischenfeld Castle, which has long ceased to exist. The castle and tower were probably built in the 13th century.

        Next to the tower a nice table set to take a long break.
