シュヴァインフルトの天然記念物・トップ20

In the Tännig valley, east of Grafenrheinfeld, a small dune field is located in an extensive former mining area of Pleistocene drifting sand. Westerly winds deposited the sand in sheltered areas during the cold periods of the last 2.6 million years. The most striking dune is accessible via a hiking trail (Auenwaldweg) that runs directly past it. Two larger sand outcrops exist. The dune and its surroundings are under special protection as a protected landscape feature.

The Zabelstein ruins are a wonderful place. The remains of the castle, the rest area with kiosk and the observation tower are inviting. A childhood memory!

The Garstadt nature reserve / bird sanctuary is worth a visit at any time of year.

Very fine sand - and a lot of it! It's a bit surprising when you're walking through the forest and suddenly you're standing on a dune. The mystical-looking roots make for some great photo opportunities.

There is a ban on cycling there. From the barrier it is about 100 meters on foot

Here you can leave the stress behind and breathe in some fresh air.

Todays use The lake is now used as a local recreation area. Large parts are open to swimming, diving, sailing and fishing. The remaining areas are created as biotopes and designated as nature reserves. Another use is as water retention to avoid flooding in spring when the snow melts and to feed the Sauerquellebach with enough water in the dry times in summer and autumn. With a total area of 33 hectares, the lake is the largest reservoir in Lower Franconia.[1] It is surrounded by forest all around. The circular route is 4.4 km long. Parts of the north shore of the lake have sunbathing areas, a sandy beach and bathing jetties. In 1983 and 2022 the lake was completely drained for renovation work. After a ground closure was built in 2022, the reservoir no longer needs to be completely emptied in the event of renovation work. The drain was closed again on September 22, 2022 and the filling of the lake with rainwater and snow is expected to be completed by spring 2024. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellertsh%C3%A4user_See
