The picturesque rock village of Krögelstein in the northern Franconian Switzerland is embedded in the narrow valley of the Kaiserbach. The fields are on the heights and the meadows in the upper and lower valleys. Above a narrow rocky gorge below the church, the arch of an old wall arches, the remains of the castle of the Knights of Crogelstein. In July 1523, soldiers of the Swabian League set fire to the castle and placed four tons of gunpowder under the large watchtower, which lifted it out of the ground and caused it to fall into the ditch. The village's landmark is the "Alte Fritz", a 30m high dolomite rock. Other landmarks include the "Schwedenfelsen" and the "Löwenfelsen", which has the shape of a lying lion.

I was impressed by the townscape of Krögelteile between the steep cliffs, one of which is called "old Fritz"
