Anvil – Glacial erratic

Highlight • Natural Monument

The "Anvil" in the Waldnaab valley, located between the Kammerwagen and the Sauerbrunnen, is a granite rock protruding from the Waldnaab. Nice to look at.

Sour Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

The carbonic acid, iron and sulfur leading source on the right bank of the Waldnaab directly on the trail between Kammerwagen and Butterfaß is called Sauerbrunnen. It concerns a Säuerling (constriction source) presumably the Nachhall of the tertiary volcanism in northeast Bavaria is to be assigned. The water of the sour well is in the majority not as "savory" felt. The cause lies mainly in the iron content.

The (Devil’s) Butter Barrel

Highlight • Natural Monument

Between Sauerbrunnen and the cabin there is a narrow passage with a steep slope. Whirlpools (stand rollers) have ground here with millstones swirl holes and through sand and gravel so-called pseudo-mud holes in the granite. The hydropower necessary for the swirl hole formation comes from the comparatively large gradient at the bottleneck at the churn. Here we have a level difference of approx. 4 meters on a course of approx. 40 meters, between Falkenberg and Windischeschenbach it is only 40 meters in total on 15 km.

Waldnaabtal Log Cabin

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The goal of many hikes in the Waldnaabtal is the log cabin. Located in the heart of the nature reserve Waldnaabtal, you will find here one of the most beautiful beer gardens in the area. The log cabin is known for good, down to earth cuisine. Special tip: fresh trout and home-made cake.

Mühlnickl Pond

Highlight • Lake

After you have already hiked along the Mühlnickl ponds for a while, coming from the west, the picturesque Mühlnickl pond opens up in front of you. A nice place for a rest or even a swim in the lake.
