셰르슈테텐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

The turnoff to the spring is somewhat inconspicuous, but marked with a signpost. It's small, but worth seeing, in my opinion.

The Schnerzhofer pond was bought by the Schöffel family, a textile entrepreneur, and is used for pond farming. The pond is occasionally drained in winter. In summer, you can swim in the pond. There is also a small lawn with a toilet and a bathing jetty on the north bank. Despite the overflow gap being rebuilt in 2008 for half a million euros, the floodwaters washed over the top of the pond in June 2024.

The Engelshofer Bach, also known as the Anhauser Bach, is a river in the Augsburg - Western Forests Nature Park in Bavaria. It rises near Burgwalden and flows through the picturesque Anhauser Valley before flowing into the Schmutter. The valley of the Engelshofer Bach is characterized by its idyllic landscape with forests, meadows and ponds and is a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. Several hiking trails run along the stream, offering insights into the region's diverse flora and fauna. Particularly noteworthy is the circular hike from Oberschönenfeld Monastery to Scheppacher Berg, which also passes the Engelshofer Bach. To prevent flooding, a flood retention basin was built on the Engelshofer Bach. This basin has a retention volume of around 180,000 cubic meters and serves to protect the surrounding communities from flooding. Near the stream is the Engelshof, a former castle from the 17th/18th century that is now used as a farm. The area around the stream is characterized by a rich flora and fauna and provides a habitat for numerous animal and plant species.

Easy walk, easy to do.

The Celtic square ramparts "Brennburg" are now considered by archaeologists to be the centre of a rural settlement structure in Celtic times. They were built in the late La Tène period, i.e. around the middle of the 2nd century, and were abandoned again when the Romans arrived. They had no military function. Within the still impressive ramparts and ditches, which are still very well preserved at the Brennburg, there was probably an ensemble of residential and storage buildings, perhaps a small cult building and one or more wells. There was only one entrance in a gap in the rampart and a wooden bridge over the ditch, and perhaps even an imposing gatehouse. The earthwork lies on a step in the terrain of a spur of the Schalkenberg at a height of around 527 m. The ground plan of the Brennburg is almost square, the east side (102 m) is slightly shorter than the west flank (112 m). The northern wall is 113 m long, the southern wall measures 109 m. According to the terrain, the gate was in the south. The maximum height of the wall (measured from the bottom of the ditch) is about 2.5 m. The wall is interrupted by a few modern cuts.

If you are coming from Tussenhausen, just don't drive up the mountain road. It lives up to its name. The further course of the cycle path towards Markt Wald is also not recommended. The terrain is quite rough

This hiking trail along the forest stream is a real highlight.

Idyllic pond, today shortly before noon in still light fog
