It's quite a climb, but the effort is worth it! The Hollow Church, an impressive dolomite rock formation with a passage and viewpoint, is definitely a highlight of the area!

On the west side of the Strahlenfels Castle Hill, a rocky spur branches off about 100 meters to the west, which was used to build a castle. The north side of the rocky spur drops about 15 meters vertically, and the west and south sides also drop steeply, partly interspersed with rocks, also 15 meters. Only the east side is connected to the slightly raised castle hill and had to be protected accordingly. There you can see a presumably natural ditch, which may have served as a neck ditch. Of the castle on the rocky spur, only a six-meter-long and two-meter-high wall remains (image 4), which is in danger of falling away, and two smaller wall remains on the east side, which are only visible from below, remain. There is also a round cistern with a diameter of about half a meter on the castle plateau. It is still about half a meter deep and filled with leaves. In 1589, there was still a residential building, opposite which was a brick floor, also a building, in which there was a cellar, a chapel and above it a grain store. The entrance to the castle was on the south side of the rocky outcrop (image 2) via a seven-step staircase hewn out of the rock (image 3), from which a narrow path led upwards. You can probably imagine the entrance being like that of Pottenstein Castle. Wildenfels Castle and Wolfsberg Castle also had similar entrances. There may have been an outer bailey on a 15-meter lower level of the terrain to the south, but nothing of it remains. At the foot of the rocky outcrop on the northwest side outside the castle complex there is a small cave, the Strahlenfels Castle Cave (Cave Register of the Franconian Alb, D 516), which was closed off from the outside with walls. It probably served as a storage room for the castle residents. Source: Wikipedia

Super nice view of the Trubachtal and great passage through the rock. Fun for smaller kids too. Well suited for a family hike.

Passage rock in an exposed location. At the other end, a fantastic view of the valley surprises you. Very beautiful!

On the left side of the St 2243 road from Neunkirchen am Brand to Effeltrich (Forchheim district), hidden in a small group of trees, is the entrance to this former ice cellar. The group of trees is the natural monument 154 04 "Linde mit Arkazien am Felsenkeller" Fl. No. 782. Before the invention of refrigerators and cold stores, ice cellars were used to keep food fresh. They were either driven into sandstone rocks or built up with stones in holes in the ground and covered with a layer of earth. They usually consisted of an entrance area as an anteroom or (cold) lock and the actual cold room and therefore also had two doors. In winter, blocks of ice were extracted (sawed) from nearby ponds or lakes and taken to the ice cellar. The cooling effect could be used well into late summer with almost constant low temperatures. The ice cellars had a drainage system on the floor leading to the outside, in order to let the melt water and the condensation water forming on the walls and the ceiling run off to the outside.

Nice vantage point at the hollow church. There is also a bench to linger
