Pommelsbrunn Historic Town Centre

Highlight • Historical Site

Small but beautiful town center, with a bakery, ATM and the local museum. Worth seeing are the church, the former judge's house with local chronicle and the fountain in front of the museum.

Nice church from the 14th century. The way the church looks today, inside and outside, it was built through structural changes in the years 1693 and 1726 to 1731.

Bastei Viewpoint (Zankelstein), Pommelsbrunn

Highlight • Viewpoint

The entire mountain range from the Bastei over the Zankelstein further east is absolutely worth a trip. You can actually only get to the benches with a bit of agility. It is very beautiful up there in autumn too.

Zankelstein Viewpoint and Rock Formation

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very nice trails lead to the Zankelstein. The hard work is rewarded with a wonderful view, in good weather that extends as far as Nuremberg. A panorama pane helps with orientation.
