A very nice idea for everyone.

A beautiful view of the lake

Oberkotzau Castle. Information: First mentioned in 1234. Destroyed several times, including during the Hussite Wars. By the 18th century, the complex was largely in ruins and was rebuilt in the Baroque style. Remnants of a tower and the chapel are still visible. The castle complex in its present form was built after the town fire of 1852. It now houses, among other things, the Oberkotzau Castle Residence, run by the Diakonie Hochfranken (a social welfare organization).

The Bismarck Oak on the outskirts of Oberkotzau was planted in 1895. The Bismarck Oak is a natural monument on Lake Untreusee. Under District Administrator Heinz Schulze, the Bismarck Oak was declared a nature reserve in October 1953. It invites walkers and cyclists to linger on their way to Lake Untreusee. The Oberkotzau Beautification Association installed a new sign on the oak in 2018.

Someone put a lot of effort into this. 🤗

The Krauß miller family, first documented at this location in 1735, built and operated a grain mill whose mill wheel was powered by the water of the Ölsnitz (Untreubach) stream via an approximately 600-meter-long, artificially created mill channel. The "lease of the Ölsnitz stream" by Baron von Kotzau to master miller Johann Krauß in Eppenreuth was re-documented in 1835 with reference to the fishing rights. An old millstone and iron drive wheels at the entrance to the property point to the building's history as a former mill.

Beautiful old stone bridge with wooden railing that connects the two sides of the Untreutal.
