The Quackenschloss is a passage cave about 18 meters long. It is the remains of a very old and high-lying cave system. The rock wall has a patchy appearance due to the weathering of individual shells. The cave probably gets its name from this rock composition. The type of stone with holes in it (smokewacke) is called quacke here. The oblique oval shape of the cave is determined by two longitudinal fissures and two diagonally sloping bank joints. Two larger fissures cross the passage. One portal is about 7 meters wide and 2.5 meters high, the other, divided by a rock pillar, is about 9 meters wide and 5 meters high. The cave is registered as C 4 in the Franconian Alb Cave Register (HFA). It has been designated by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment as an important geotope (474R060)[1] and as a natural monument (ND-04580). The cave, which is easily accessible via hiking trails, is one of the most frequently visited destinations in the Franconian Jura, also because of its scenic location. There is a sport climbing area next to the cave. Source: Wikipedia

The Quackenschloss is a cave ruin, the remains of which belong to a very high (505 meters) and therefore very old cave system. The rock grotto, which is about three meters high and six meters wide, is open on two sides and can be safely entered from the east side.

Statue of St. Walburga, Walberla High Plateau in the Ehrenbuerg Nature Reserve, Kirchehrenbach, Franconian Switzerland, Franconia

The Sankt-Walburgis-Chapel is the namesake of the "Walberla-Berg". The chapel was already built in the 17th century. It is dedicated to Saint Walburga. The chapel, which was probably first mentioned in 1350, was originally made of wood. The current chapel was built in 1697 by the Lords of Wiesenthau. The bronze statue of Saint Walburga, which stands in front of the chapel and was inaugurated in 2000, is very striking.

In front of the chapel there is a sculpture of St. Walburga by the sculptor Ernst Steinacker with the inscription "God in your heart".
