    Hiking

    The barns lined up next to each other with their large gates caught my eye on the very first day. They are a special feature of Weißenstadt's urban development. After the town fire of 1823, the barns were relocated out of the town for fire safety reasons.

    Hiking

    For fire protection reasons, the barns were moved out of the city after the devastating fire of 1823. These rows of barns on the edge of the old town still characterize the appearance of Weißenstadt today.

    The mostly very simple barns are very impressive due to their size and solidity due to the row of several buildings with continuous eaves and ridge line. Dark slate roofs, some of them broken brickwork and archways with decorative granite frames characterize the edge of the old town.
