The entire route along the Querkelsteig trail is very easy and interesting for everyone to walk.

This castle also deserves attention.

This is where the "Totenlache" station on the Siemau Legend Trail is located. The legend on the panel is worth reading and interesting.

Here at the Eselsbrücke (donkey bridge) is a station on the Simauer Legend Trail. The information panel provides a detailed description of the legend.

A very well-preserved historic arched bridge, which, newly renovated, is a real eye-catcher. You rarely see something like it.

The Evangelical Lutheran parish church of Scherneck in Upper Franconia, a part of Untersiemau in the Coburg district, dates back to the early 18th century in its current form. The choir tower church stands prominently on a rocky outcrop above the Itz River, shaping the townscape. The oval churchyard is surrounded by a wall and separated from the ground behind it by a ditch on the northwest side. The church seats approximately 300 worshipers.

During the Third Reich, the castle was initially used by the Reichspost (Reich Postal Service) as a postal convalescent home from 1941 onward. After the Second World War, the German Federal Postal Service leased it to Caritas, which operated a retirement home. In 1976, the Postal Service sold the property to Munich entrepreneur Oskar Hacker, who had the castle restored between 1987 and 1993 to use it as a hotel and restaurant. Following Oskar Hacker's death in 2016, the castle has been owned by the non-profit Oskar Hacker Foundation, which has its headquarters in the castle. The foundation operates the Oskar Hacker Art Forum, which, among other things, has erected the permanent exhibition "Glaskunst im Schlosspark" by Borowski and a White Cube by photographer Mike Meyer in the park since 2024. The hotel and upscale restaurants are leased. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Hohenstein_(Oberfranken)
