Site of the Former Wurzbach Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

There was an old stone bridge here that fell victim to flooding in the 1970s. Nothing remains except the foundations. You can still see a railing post.

The Wurzbacher Stauweiher, is the last still intact rafting pond in the area of Warmensteinach. Here the so-called Schwemmflößerei was operated. This means that wood was thrown into rivers and then the nearby dams were opened for transport.
