    "Weissenbrunner waterfalls" called, sintered stream terraces.

      Here in Weißenbrunn you can see impressive sinter terraces which are among the most impressive in northeastern Bavaria. The geological peculiarity of the formation of this sedimentary rock can be seen and explored in several places.

      The geological peculiarities of the sintered terraces are rare in the region, fewer than five geotopes of the same type and classified as geoscientific. In our area, these processes are rather rare, much more common, more well-known and also more researched, on the other hand, they are on the edge of the Swabian Alb, the Franconian Alb and in the Alpine foothills.

      The Birketsbach limestone tuff is in no way inferior to the famous deposits from Pennickental near Jena and Crailsheim.

      To the west of the village in a small side valley of the Itz, there are two springs with very cold water. The place name already suggests: Weissenbrunn = white fountain.

        Fairytale-like, very calcareous water in the course of the river with waterfalls ensures deposits of tufa and fossils.
