The pilgrimage church of the Holy Trinity is the landmark of Gößweinstein. This monumental church, whose two towers majestically greet the country, together with its pilgrimage forms the religious center of Franconian Switzerland. Thousands of pilgrims come to this place of worship every year. In addition, the basilica is the destination of many art lovers and tourists. After all, the church, built between 1730 and 1739, is one of the most important creations of late Baroque architecture in Franconia and is considered a sacred masterpiece by the great architect Balthasar Neumann.

The Quackenschloss is a passage cave about 18 meters long. It is the remains of a very old and high-lying cave system. The rock wall has a patchy appearance due to the weathering of individual shells. The cave probably gets its name from this rock composition. The type of stone with holes in it (smokewacke) is called quacke here. The oblique oval shape of the cave is determined by two longitudinal fissures and two diagonally sloping bank joints. Two larger fissures cross the passage. One portal is about 7 meters wide and 2.5 meters high, the other, divided by a rock pillar, is about 9 meters wide and 5 meters high. The cave is registered as C 4 in the Franconian Alb Cave Register (HFA). It has been designated by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment as an important geotope (474R060)[1] and as a natural monument (ND-04580). The cave, which is easily accessible via hiking trails, is one of the most frequently visited destinations in the Franconian Jura, also because of its scenic location. There is a sport climbing area next to the cave. Source: Wikipedia

The Quackenschloss is a cave ruin, the remains of which belong to a very high (505 meters) and therefore very old cave system. The rock grotto, which is about three meters high and six meters wide, is open on two sides and can be safely entered from the east side. In the gallery cave, which takes its name from the enclosed fossils, the so-called Quacken, the remains of a 17-meter-long cave system can be explored.

The Hohe Warte with its weather vane was created in 2003 by many volunteers. Now, after 20 years, the red and white weather vane should be given some color again.

A small steep path leads to the roof of the Quakenschloss. Great view from above.

A great view over Pottenstein and the surrounding area reward the ascent.

At the Festival of Lights you have a great view of the whole fire.

Absolutely worth seeing basilica and always the highlight of a visit to Gößweinstein. In the immediate vicinity of the landmark of Gößweinstein, in the "Holy District", a pilgrimage museum was also opened in 2008.
