ヴィッティヒハウゼンの天然記念物・トップ20

The view of Tauberbischofsheim reveals the charming old town with its half-timbered houses, the Türmersturm (Tower Tower) and the parish church of St. Martin – nestled in the green Tauber Valley.

The Bismarck Tower stands on the Höhberg and was ceremoniously inaugurated on October 4, 1903. Erected by the Academic Holiday Association Tuberania, it is a 9-meter-high granite column with a plaque and fire bowl at the top.

Spiritual places: Places of reflection and inner peace. Cultural treasures: Impressive architecture and often beautiful works of art.

The springs formed the basis for Bad Mergentheim as a spa town and international health resort. The decisive event was the discovery of salty water by a shepherd and his sheep in 1826.

Three of the four springs, Albertquelle, Karlsquelle and Wilhelmsquelle, are drinking springs based on their mineral composition, whereas the Paulsquelle, which is unsuitable for drinking, is a bathing spring.

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 top of the granite monument is topped with a fire bowl attached to an iron frame. Two inscribed stone plaques are affixed to the monument: on the north side, BISMARCK, and on the southwest side, AFV/TUBERANIA/1903. A memorial plaque was later added to the northwest side, bearing the inscription "Memorial Plaque of the/AFV TUBERANIA/who sacrificed their lives/in the Great War/1914–1918" and the names of the fallen. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bismarcks%C3%A4ule_(Tauberbischofsheim)

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.
