ヴァイシェンフェルトのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

To be enjoyed with caution on rainy days

The Held inn and brewery in Oberailsfeld has been family-owned for over 300 years, and they definitely serve some of the best beers from our Upper Franconian brewers. Besides a Helles, a Dunkel, a Pilsner, and a Hefeweizen, they also offer a delicious Bock beer on tap during Lent, and a full-bodied Weizenbock during Advent. In summer, an idyllic beer garden invites you to cool off and enjoy a refreshing drink.

It is pointless to speculate which of the numerous saints venerated in the Catholic (and partly also in the Protestant) Church holds the highest place in the hearts of children: Is it Saint Martin (Bishop of Tours), under whose venerable patronage this church is placed, who served as a soldier in the Roman army before his calling; and whose generous sharing of his cloak with the poor beggar is still commemorated today in lantern processions on his feast day (November 11). Or perhaps it is rather Saint Nicholas (Bishop of Myra), who, as is well known, bestows gifts upon good children during the Advent season on the eve of his feast day (December 6).

The small Schroll Brewery in Reckendorf is widely known for its house specialty, the Schroll Ur-Trunk, the house's classic beer. This dark brown beer has a distinct malt flavor and is also available as a Bock beer for Christmas.

The present-day Baroque church of St. Martinus in Nankendorf was built between 1746 and 1748, and its 42-meter-high steeple towers over the small village. It is no longer possible to say with certainty how many church buildings stood in Nankendorf before this time. However, the parish of Nankendorf is one of the oldest in Upper Franconia and existed even before the founding of the Diocese of Bamberg in 1007. The patron saint of the parish church is St. Martin (Martinus). St. James was added as a second patron saint later. The highlight of the liturgical year is the "Perpetual Adoration" at the end of the year, followed by a candlelight procession. Bengal lights, wax candles, and wood fires illuminate the surrounding slopes and rocks. The houses are decorated with candles, and the waters of the Wiesent River are lit.

The old water supply in Nankendorf was renovated in 2009.

Surefootedness is required; walking poles aren't much use here. The ascent is easy to miss.
