ポンメルスブルンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

A natural history museum in Pommelsbrunn

Perfect for a break.

On display is a fascinating collection of tin figures depicting the Celtic settlement "Houbirg". There are also many rare exhibits from the prehistoric excavation site in Hunas. This is a site where living quarters have been found that are between 130,000 and 260,000 years old. A new permanent exhibition is "In the Realm of Darkness", which focuses intensively on the caves of the Franconian Jura. From the skull of a cave bear to a fully equipped cave explorer, you can find out everything you need to know about the "underworld" here.

The Leitenberg is one of the 7 summits in the Nuremberg region.

At the summit of Leitenberg there is a small summit cross

From the edge of the former upper basin you have a magnificent view. The upper basin of the Happurg pumped storage power plant has been drained since 2011 because cracks had formed. Since then, repairs have been repeatedly postponed.

The forest near Eschenbach is always broken up by beautiful forest meadows. The bizarre rocks on the Koppe create a wonderful mix of landscapes.

In 1391 the castle was pledged to Linhard von Henfenfeld by the Wittelsbach dukes, after which other pledge holders and caretakers appeared. In 1419 it was ceded to the brothers Hans, Eberhart and Wilhelm von Mistelbeck, who had claims against Duke Ludwig of Bavaria-Ingolstadt. The handover did not take place because of the Bavarian War. In the Bavarian War between Duke Ludwig of Bavaria-Ingolstadt and his cousins, the Bavarian Dukes of Landshut and Munich, Lichtenstein Castle was conquered and destroyed in June 1421 by Count Palatine Johann von Neumarkt-Neunburg, who was allied with Ludwig's opponents. In the terrain exploration of the imperial city of Nuremberg from 1503 to 1504, in which all castles and fortifications are listed in relation to the Landshut War of Succession that soon followed, Lichtenstein is described as “an old, traditional castle”. An entry in the Salbuch from 1516 also states that Lichtenstein was only a castle stable. The Sulzbach regional court granted the Mistelbeck brothers their right to compensation in 1421 and again in 1422. The castle ruins fell into disrepair; In 1851 the Bavarian state sold it to Paul Willhelm Freiherr Ebner von Eschenbach. Around 1855, in the spirit of the awakening romanticism of castles, he had the pseudo-ruins built on the upper castle using rising masonry and an English landscape garden set up in the area of the lower castle, which, however, also fell into disrepair.[5] Today there is forest around the castle ruins and it is partly overgrown with bushes. Several hiking trails from Pommelsbrunn and the surrounding area lead to the ruins. The medieval remains of Lichtenstein Castle, especially those of the lower castle, are at great risk of decay.
