에글로프슈타인 최고의 러닝 경로

Tucked away on Talstraße, right next to the "Heidsgärtla" and the "Zur Post" inn, lies the Egloffstein spa gardens. The entire area is privately owned, and the town of Egloffstein has leased it so that the park-like garden can be made available to the public.

Egloffstein Castle, picturesquely situated on a rocky outcrop above the Trubach Valley and the ancestral seat of the Barons von und zu Egloffstein since the 11th century, is one of the landmarks of the romantic Franconian Switzerland region and is located in the heart of one of Germany's most diverse and charming recreational areas. Interested guests can visit the castle by appointment. Comfortable holiday apartments within the castle complex offer discerning overnight guests a peaceful retreat in an exclusive atmosphere and historic ambiance.

The first church, dedicated to St. Catherine, was built into the rock as a castle chapel below the castle, in what is now the "Old Cemetery." The patronage was transferred to Spalt Abbey by the Nuremberg burgrave in 1300. Until 1431, the church was cared for more or less poorly by the vicar of Gräfenberg. Because the Thuisbrunn residents had been insisting on having their own pastor due to grievances as early as the 15th century, the castle chapel was elevated to a parish church (ecclesia parochialis) with its own pastor in 1460. Even then, this included the villages of Neusles, Höfles, Hohenschwärz, Hammer, and Dörnhof. Haidhof was added at the beginning of the 16th century. Due to extreme humidity and cold, the church fell into disrepair after a long period of time. In 1670/71, complaints were raised that "neither in winter nor in summer could the listeners stay out of the rain and snow," and that "On Laetare Sunday, the pastor could not remain in the pulpit before the trumpet, nor at the altar during the distribution of Holy Communion." Thus, a collection was taken in the Franconian Oberland and Unterland, and the money was used to build a new, larger nave for the church and a new church tower. This tower collapsed a year later. Rebuilt in 1831, the ringing of the bells was prohibited due to dilapidation. In the following years, part of the tower was demolished, and a few years later, the temporary roof was swept away by a storm. Thus, after lengthy negotiations with the state regarding the construction obligation, the foundation stone for a new church building was finally laid in 1855 on the present site on the road to Hohenschwärz. In keeping with the renewed national sentiment of the 19th century, the church was built by master builder Horneber, reminiscent of the great Gothic cathedrals, with its spaciousness and typical pointed arches in the Gothic Revival style. The 1895 altarpiece depicting the Resurrected Christ also reflects the optimism and spirit of optimism of the 19th century, driven by the increasing mastery of nature, inventions, new means of transport, and the pride of the industrial age. The sandstone baptismal font from the early 18th century and the impressive processional cross from 1711 were retained from the previous church. The Moses pulpit also originates from the old church. However, it was initially kept in adjoining rooms and was not erected in its current location until 1930 by Pastor Riedel. Source: https://www.thuisbrunn.com/katharinenkirche/

High up on the steep cliffs of Franconian Switzerland, the little church nestles against the proud castle. A long staircase leads up from the valley. However, it is currently being renovated.

There are also pubs here that are still open.

A beautiful town, this Gräfenberg.
