Oberlangenstadt Castle

Highlight • Castle

Oberlangenstadt Castle was only built in the 19th century in the English Gothic style. Despite its young history, it is one of the most beautiful buildings in the Kronach district.

The crossing of the Main is of great economic and social importance for Schwürbitz. A Main bridge has been documented since 1851. After the Lichtenfels-Hof Northern Railway was put into operation in 1847, it was important not to miss the connection to the big wide world and to provide good access to the railway. The most important link to the Hochstadt train station was the wooden footbridge over the Main in Schwürbitz. In 1851, this wooden footbridge, which had suffered greatly after several floods, was secured. The wobbly wooden frame was secured with "Wiedseile" or "Wieden", which were bands twisted from suitable branches that were indispensable for rafting. The five "experts" were paid nine kreuzers and board for their work.

Rudufersee Nature Trail

Highlight • Trail

The wide floodplain of the upper Main is shaped by human use. The construction of settlements, industrial zones, transport routes and above all
gravel quarrying have claimed many near-natural areas in recent decades.
Between Burgkunstadt and Bamberg, however, near-natural areas in the Main valley have also been preserved or have been renatured. The species-rich meadows, alluvial forests and naturally designed quarry ponds are home to numerous rare animal and plant species.
The preservation of biological diversity is an important goal of the European Union (EU). For this purpose, the EU has designated a European network of protected areas called Natura 2000. Consisting of bird protection areas and FFH areas (fauna-flora-habitat areas), it lays the foundation for a Europe-wide biotope network.
Many of these areas need targeted care and development measures to ensure or improve their ecological quality. In order to support the member states in this, the EU has launched the European support program LIFE-Nature.
The districts of Bamberg and Lichtenfels have joined forces for the Main Valley and applied for the LIFE Nature Project Upper Main Valley. Other project partners are the State Association for Bird Protection in Bavaria e.V. and the Bund Naturschutz in Bayern e.V. The project is supported by numerous municipalities, authorities, associations and institutions.
Unlike many quarry ponds in the Main valley, the Rudufersee was created specifically as a bathing lake.
The lake is fed by groundwater.
The north side of the lake offers the best conditions for bathers, on the south bank there are still many landscape structures typical of the Main valley.
The nature adventure trail leads as a circular route around the lake.
Elements of the natural and cultural landscape are presented at 13 stations.

Rudufersee

Highlight • Lake

The Rudufer bathing lake offers a (small) sandy beach and a non-swimmer area with a flat shore. Sun loungers and pedal boats can be rented from a rental shop. When the weather is nice, a kiosk with a terrace café is open from 1 p.m. There are also sanitary facilities.

Swimming and the bathing beach are free, but there is a small fee for parking (3 euros per day, 1 euro for two hours)

Tents and camping are also permitted at the Rudufersee. However, this must be applied for at the local authority. Tents are only permitted at the designated fire pits, and mobile homes may only be parked in the car park.
