ザクセンバイアンスバッハの天然記念物・トップ20

It's a beautiful place! Totally idyllic.

According to Feuerlein, the water was supposed to be effective in cases of stone problems, foot, eye, chest and stomach problems, intermittent fever, rashes, epilepsy, worms and strokes. After just three years of the healing spring's existence, complaints were heard about a decrease in the frequency of use; five years later, the low effectiveness was explained as being due to spills and after a few decades, the spa operation had come to a complete standstill. In 1578, the last monk died and the margraves, as patrons of the monastery, became heirs to the entire property. The margrave appointed a monastery administrator to manage the property between the Main and the Danube. He collected the income as the monastery had done before. https://www.heilsbronn.de/de/kultur-tourismus/sehenswertes/stadtrundgang/2-heilbrunnen

At the fountain, please take yourself back to the time of 1730. The monastery had not existed for over 150 years. The Margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach and Brandenburg-Bayreuth now run a princely school in its rooms. 100 boys from the territories of the two princes live here at state expense. The students are medically cared for by Dr. Feuerlein. This doctor is firmly convinced that the monks must have meant a mineral spring when they gave their name. Together with the local priest Hocker and the monastery administrator Bernhold, he succeeds in convincing Margrave Carl Wilhelm Friedrich of the existence of a healing spring. For a while, people took cures here, the Margrave even had a half-timbered building built over the spring and he himself obtained large quantities of water from Heilsbronn

The only nature reserve in the city of Ansbach with an area of 52 hectares. The eponymous Scheerweiher was created in the Middle Ages as a fish pond by damming two streams. Since then, the pond has developed into an ecologically mature body of still water in Middle Franconia. Coming from Schalkhausen, there is a car park immediately after the railway underpass. The unmarked circular path around the nature reserve leads from the car park to the small observation tower, which offers a beautiful view of the extensive pond area with just a few steps. Following the road, you reach the Scheermühle via the Scheerweiher dam. The water from the pond was used to operate the Scheermühle, which was built in the 17th century, until 1930. This is indicated by a wooden coat of arms in the gable of the roof of the half-timbered house. Continuing through the forest towards Neudorfer Mühle, the path finally leads in an arc back towards the car park. The last section of the path runs along a former road, parallel to the railway tracks, back to the starting point. More than 60 species of birds breed in the area, and toads and newts use the nearby pond to spawn. Over five thousand common toads form one of the largest populations in the Franconian Heights natural area.

There are some benches from which you can observe and enjoy nature and the pond.
