ウンターシュヴァーニンゲンの天然記念物・トップ20

There is a lot to see on the 1.5 km long circular route.

This wooden bridge is the entrance for the circular route on the bird island.

For pedestrians only, just park your bike in front of the bridge.

Great view from the observation tower over the lake. Here you can observe great waterfowl.

Beautiful wooden jetty around the bird island with a lookout tower including a wonderful view over the lake.

Beautiful and well-kept facility with Kneipp pools and a shady stand at the source, a good place for a break.

As a witness mountain (a single mountain in a layered landscape) of the Franconian Jura, the Hesselberg is geologically closely related to the Staffelberg (Lichtenfels district) or the Walberla (Forchheim district). The Hesselberg also has a Nazi past, like so many other things. During the Nazi era, the Franconian Gauleiter Julius Streicher made the Hesselberg a political meeting place for the National Socialists. After the NSDAP came to power, party rallies developed into the Franconian Days, which were held annually until 1939. Alongside the Nuremberg Party Rallies, these were the largest Nazi rallies in Franconia, with up to 100,000 people in attendance. Evidence from this period can no longer be found on the Hesselberg today. Since 1951, the Hesselberg has been in church hands and is, among other things, the venue for the Bavarian Evangelical Church Congress.

From the bridge you can get to the bird island. From here you can observe various birds depending on the season. ⚠ The entire Vogelinsel and the bridge is closed to cyclists ⚠
