Beautiful views around the dam.

This special natural monument was created thousands of years ago. The Steinach River ate deeper and deeper through an extremely hard volcanic rock, which is called “quartz keratophyre”. The Steinachklamm geotope with its steep slopes and the narrow section of the gorge south of Wildenstein is definitely worth seeing.

The Nordeck castle ruins are picturesquely situated in the beautiful Steinachtal, very close to the "Waldschänke" inn and directly on the Frankenwald-Steigla "Zum Forstmeistersprung". Unfortunately, you no longer have a view from there, as everything has grown over.

It was never conquered, never subdued: Rosenberg Fortress is one of the most beautiful and largest fortresses in Europe. The former Bamberg bishop's castle and later state fortress rises steeply above the old town of Kronach on the Rosenberg hill. The oldest surviving document mentioning the name "Rosenberg" dates from 1249. The various construction phases are clearly visible, from the medieval keep through the walls and towers of the 15th and 16th centuries to the late Baroque pentagon, illustrating the ever-changing demands of defensive construction throughout the centuries. The juxtaposition of medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque fortification architecture gives the complex its significant place in the history of German military construction. The renowned architects Maximilian von Welsch and Balthasar Neumann were involved in the expansion of the fortress. The fortress was never captured or defeated by enemies. In 1888, the city acquired the castle as a property without military significance. The underground tunnel system, which can be visited as part of the fortress tours, is also of particular interest.

The early baroque fortress gate, one of the most beautiful in Germany, was probably built by Antonio Petrini.

This small monument is under monument protection. The Marter, created in the 18th century, was originally located around 50 meters to the south-east at the upper end of Festungsstrasse; it was moved to its current location in 1936 on the occasion of the erection of the war memorial for the fallen of the First World War. The column, made of sandstone, was rotated 90 degrees so that the main side, which once looked south towards the city, now faces west. Philipp Ernst von Redwitz, named in the inscription on the base, was commander of Rosenberg Fortress from 1774 to 1787. He probably had the wayside shrine erected at the original location of the monument as a replacement for an earlier torture.

The drinking water dam Mauthaus - called "Ködeltalsperre" - is one of the largest of its kind in Bavaria. Around the "Frankenwaldfjord" leads an approx. 11.5 km long paved path, which is ideal for hiking, cycling or inline skating. The drinking water dam Mauthaus is located in the valley of the Nurner Ködel, a tributary to the Rodach, about 20 kilometers northeast of Kronach. It was built from 1968 to 1972 to supply drinking water. As a secondary purpose, it serves to protect against flooding, raise low water levels and generate electricity from hydropower. It was put into operation in 1975 and was thus the first Bavarian drinking water dam. The body of water may not be used for water sports, which contributes significantly to the quality of drinking water. A bicycle rental is located in the Oberes Rodachtal tourist office in Steinwiesen, Kronacher Straße 75.
