    The Geißkirche near Etzdorf is an imposing rock formation with a large rock gate that you can walk through. There are several Geißkirchen churches in Franconian Switzerland. The name mostly originated from the fact that the shepherds kept their sheep and goats there in bad weather.

      Very beautiful passage cave, but also the back with the rock formations is impressive.
