Mountain biking

I think the atmosphere here is great. Nice place.
I have to disagree with the previous speaker - there are also mountain bikers who have a sense of culture, atmosphere and history.
But anyone who, like him, flips their heads on an electric bike and lets their advertising rubbish rot in the Friesener Warte, has no sense in doing so.

In 1819 the cemetery was laid out by the Jewish communities in Buttenheim, Gunzendorf and Hirschaid and used jointly until the beginning of the 20th century. Today around 280 graves have been preserved there, as well as the Tahara Hall (morgue). The area is mostly closed, but the low cemetery wall allows wonderful views of the often richly designed tombstones from the 19th and early 20th centuries. The Buttenheimer Friedhof is one of the most beautiful and best preserved Jewish cemeteries in Franconia.

Very well-preserved Jewish cemetery above Buttenheim, a place to pause with a good view of the distance.
