A beautiful rest area with a healing spring. The Max-Marien spring provides a calcium bicarbonate acidic spring. Bottles of the healing water can be brought along from the well house in Langenau. The calcium-rich water stimulates kidney function and is recommended for gout and diseases of the urinary tract.

The Langenau Floating Pond is a historic pond in the Langenau Valley in the Franconian Forest, formerly used for timber rafting. Today, it is a nature reserve and an important habitat, particularly for beavers, who have their burrows there.

From here, you can access several of the Franconian Forest's main hiking trails. The "Säuerlingsweg DÖ 97" also starts from this free parking lot.

There is a very large enclosure with fallow deer here.

Starting point for many hikes - free and with information board

Here you can drink healing water for free

The pond was built on behalf of the Bavarian king to raise the water level in the Langenau in order to float the felled timber towards the Main

The Frankenwarte (Frankenwarte) stands atop the 679-meter-high Hirschhügel (Hirschhügel). The eight-and-a-half-meter-high, round stone tower offers a panoramic view to the northeast, to the edge of the Höllental valley, to Lichtenberg and Bad Steben, and to the west to the hills near Nordhalben. To the south, Geroldsgrün, the 729-meter-high Spitzberg, and the 758-meter-high Schneidberg can be seen, and hidden behind them, the highest peak in the Franconian Forest, the 794-meter-high Döbraberg. To the southeast, the view extends to the Fichtel Mountains. The Frankenwarte was built and is maintained by the Franconian Forest Association. Plans to build an observation tower on the hill existed as early as 1930. However, the Frankenwarte was not inaugurated until August 12, 1951. In 2020, panoramic panels were installed on the parapet of the viewing platform, illustrating the towns and landscape features visible from here.
