ブッテンハイムの天然記念物・トップ20

A beautiful, winding dry valley with lean grassland slopes. When the snow melts and after long periods of rain, the tumbleweeds transform the valley into a watery landscape.

At almost any time of the year you have a beautiful view of Kirchenehrenbach and the surrounding region from here

The dry valley lives up to its name here. Only the source of the Leinleiter is still bubbling. Nevertheless, a beautiful valley for hiking.

We were there in April 2023. One of the most beautiful valleys you can hike through. If they hadn't found a place for the Shire in New Zealand, here would be one.

From here you have the first view. Now it's not far up 🤗 catch one more breath on the bench and let's go!

There are also several benches for a rest at the beautiful, today murmuring, shell spring.

This natural spectacle is simply to be recommended, after prolonged rainfall and snowmelt, the otherwise dry valley is transformed into an active water landscape that meanders through the valley. Don't forget rubber boots.

From Wikipedia: The shell spring is located in Franconian Switzerland northeast of Streitberg below the "Gatten Wand" in a narrow, rock-enclosed valley. At the upper end, in addition to the shell spring, there are two other small springs whose water is fed into a Kneipp facility . The spring water of the Muschelquelle comes to light as a layer spring from marls of the Upper Jura. It deposits calcareous tuff that was mined for a time in a large area below the source. This was created in the warm period about 120,000 years ago. The spring house of the shell spring was built from these calcareous tuff stones in 1910, which was used until 1968 to supply drinking water to the surrounding villages.
