The Wernsdorf water tower in the municipality of Strullendorf is primarily known as a prominent landmark and viewpoint for hikers in the Franconian Tuscany region. The tower is situated on a hill on the eastern edge of Wernsdorf. While it is part of the local water supply system, today it primarily serves as a highly visible landmark in the Zeegenbach valley. Due to its elevated position, the area around the tower offers excellent panoramic views across the Bamberg region. On a clear day, the view extends as far as the Altenburg castle in Bamberg and the Steigerwald hills. The tower is located above this idyllic valley and can be reached via well-marked trails.

Short trail that's fun

Very well designed and definitely worth a visit.

While the rear of the building is rather plain, the front features very finely crafted sandstone ornamentation. It's very beautiful to look at.

It's amazing to place these mighty natural stones like this. I really like it. It's a beautiful place to linger and marvel.

 The Tiefenpölz Stone Circle is not a prehistoric cult site, but was recently erected by a private individual as a homage to the world-famous Stonehenge in England. It was completed in 2024. The circle is somewhat smaller and made of dolomite, not bluestone like in England. The structure is located on a slight hill above the small Upper Franconian town of Tiefenpölz. It is somewhat smaller and not yet as historically significant, but it can be entered and viewed free of charge. Unfortunately, the first visitors have already begun to damage it with initials or other graffiti. This beautiful spot invites you to take a short break (a bench is available) and reflect. Also interesting is the fact that a Christian crucifix stands directly in front of the stone circle. Pagan symbols go well with Christian crosses. The stone circle is also a popular destination for photographers who want to capture the play of light and shadow in this special setting. Like its English counterpart, the stone circle is also aligned with the position of the sun at the summer and winter solstices. The work of art was created by the owner of a local road construction company, who collected and installed the special stones over the years. Stonehenge in Franconia is open 24 hours a day and is free to visit. The stone circle is particularly beautiful at sunrise or sunset, when the light illuminates the sandstone in warm colors and the site exudes an almost magical atmosphere.

Nice trail, easy to ride even uphill;
