Top 20 Caves 프랑코니아 숲

On our mountain bike tour, we came across a dwarf hole. It really is a dwarf hole. If you want to explore it, you literally have to crawl inside.

What a great idea with the cash register! The drinks are wonderfully chilled. I was happy to take advantage of the offer. You can leave a message on the slate stones!🤩

The Rebecca Tunnel is a deep tunnel in the Höllental valley. It is one of the region's less significant former ore mines, as only a small amount of copper and iron ore was found here.

The first inhabitants of the Güldenstein estate were probably forestry assistants or woodcutters. Bird trapping was also a lucrative sideline. The Güldenstein bird herd was located above the hillside on a flat area. Only the owners of the estate had the right to trap all types of finches, larks, tits, blackbirds, and thrushes. Selling them was not a problem, as the songbirds were considered a delicacy in the city. Bird trapping was not banned until the end of the 19th century. However, the most important means of survival in this remote area was always agriculture. In 1930, Güldenstein was abandoned by its last inhabitants.

Mary's Grotto at the entrance to the Tiefenbach Valley. In the 1950s, the existing niche in the slate rock of the Roßlacher Berg was converted into the Mary's Grotto by the Steinberg parish. Every year at the beginning of May, the statue of the Virgin Mary is ceremoniously carried from the parish church into the grotto.

Amazingly, it is not locked and can be entered - provided you have a lamp with you. After just a few steps it is pitch black and you can already hear the water at the end.

Because there is a lot of information waiting for you along the entire route.

One of the most beautiful places I discovered on my tour.
