ノイキルヒェンバルビニの天然記念物・トップ20

The two-part fountain symbolizes art on the one hand and the waterway on the other. Both could stand alone, but together they form a symbiotic relationship through their blending forms. Source: https://www.bodenwoehr.de/freizeit-tourismus/kunst-und-wasserweg/

The Wasserstein is definitely worth a visit

I really liked the very natural and idyllic little path around the Weichselbrunn pond.

Weichselbrunner Weiher and dry pine forest near Bodenwöhr The Weichselbrunner Weiher was probably created in the middle of the 13th century by expanding the Gleixner stream system. The area includes the Weichselbrunner Weiher, a section of the Gleixnerbach and the surrounding forests. These are mostly dry, lichen-rich sand pine forests that are very well adapted to the sandy and nutrient-poor soil. The very tread-sensitive lichens, mosses, dwarf shrubs such as the evergreen bearberry and various orchids find a suitable habitat here. The forest partly borders directly on silting up areas and reed beds of the pond. Due to the high structural diversity of the area, a large number of sometimes rare animal and plant species can be found there. Animal and plant species: The marsh terrapin, an endangered native orchid species in the Danube valley, is an inhabitant of the nature reserve. The evergreen bearberry also finds a suitable habitat in the sparse pine forests near Bodenwöhr. The high structural diversity also offers a suitable habitat for the grass snake Several hiking trails lead through the area and convey the special features of the pond and the adjacent forest. To protect the plants, which are sensitive to foot traffic, we recommend staying on the marked paths. Source: regierung.oberpfalz.bayern.de

Water Stone or Devil's Stone The Water Stone, a natural monument south of the Thälerkopf (503 m) and northeast of Stefling and Hengersbach, can be reached via hiking trail 21. The rock formation, covering an area of 0.2 hectares and exhibiting the typical rounded shapes of spheroidal weathering, was likely exposed and formed over millions of years of erosion. The highest point in the rock formation is the Water Stone/Devil's Stone, which rests on a large granite slab. The Water Stone has a circumference of 15 meters and a height of four meters. A striking feature of the stone, which can be climbed using a ladder, is a two-meter-long and one-meter-wide, basin-like water reservoir carved into its upper part, with an average depth of 50 centimeters. This water basin in the upper part of the Devil's Stone could have formed over the centuries through erosion or, as tradition suggests, be artificially created. The granite boulder displays further erosion features such as karst-like depressions (channels) and pool-like basins. It likely once belonged to the so-called sacrificial stones of a Celtic cult site. The stone water basin on the Devil's Stone, containing approximately one cubic meter of water, must not dry up even in the hottest summer; otherwise, according to one of the many legends, seven very dry summers would follow, and a widespread drought would engulf the land. The rest area allows hikers to experience the mystique of the place and the beauty of the mixed forest in a very special way. Source: Excerpts from "Fischbach and Stockenfels" ISBN 3-933522-00-5

The most beautiful, because the most natural way around the lake

Nice view over the Weichselbrunner Weiher.
