Great and quite wild gorge

Fine gorge, well secured… However, it would be nicer left natural and without an asphalt road

@Leo and Katrin described it exactly😉

Höchberg sandstone quarry Due to its good workability, the sandstone of the Lower Keuper is particularly suitable for sculpting and building purposes. Widely distributed in and around the Main triangle, it was previously mined in numerous quarries there. One of the few well-preserved historical sandstone quarries is located near Höchberg.

The Blutseemoor near Kist is a nature reserve in the Irtenberger Forest, which is part of the fauna-flora-habitat areas (FFH). It is known for its swinging lawn, which is the largest in Lower Franconia and floats on an underground body of water. The name Blutsee comes from a type of algae that sometimes turns the water red. The moor is not allowed to be entered as it is life-threatening.

The pond is often colored green by duckweed and is a real frog paradise. Around the pond you will find mystical rocky landscapes, including a small bridge. There is also a hidden, open moat leading to the pond.

Beautiful, quiet place in the middle of the forest. A bench invites you to linger. You should take the path around the moor on foot and be considerate of nature.
