Tips
Popular resting place. Originally there were 2 trees, but were struck by lightning. In the Thirty Years' War they were planted by peasants who killed and buried two Swedish mercenaries here because they had stolen the cattle from them. So they did not notice that they were digging at this place, they planted a linden tree on each of his Swedes' graves. Since that time the legend goes around that on this place on some days a man without head is to drive mischief and other "figures" around.

From the Kalte Staude you have a wonderful view towards the Franconian Forest and also into Franconian Switzerland
