The picturesque rock village Krögelstein in the northern Franconian Switzerland is embedded in the narrow valley of the Kaiserbach. The fields are located on the heights and meadows in the upper and lower valley. The arc of an old masonry, the remnant of the castle of the Knights of Crogelstein, is arched over a narrow gorge below the church. In July 1523, soldiers of the Swabian League set fire to the castle and laid four tons of powder under the large Wartturm, which lifted it from the ground and threw it into the ditch. The landmark of the village is the "Old Fritz", a 30m high dolomite rock. Worth mentioning are the "Sweden Rock" and the "Lion Rock", which has the shape of a lying lion.
