View from the ruins of Niesten Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Not much remains of the once mighty castle complex. Niesten Castle was first documented in 1127. In 1190, it passed into the hands of the noble Andechs-Meranier family.
The Peasants' War of 1530 left the castle severely damaged, as did the Thirty Years' War. After the last bailiff moved to the Neydecker House in Weismain in 1710, the castle finally stood empty.
In 1747, it was in a state of severe disrepair. The Niesten community attempted to save the castle in 1830. However, demolition continued in 1872. The last major remains of the castle collapsed in 1882.

Krassach Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Krassach spring emerges as a layered spring in several small outlets at the foot of the eastern slope of the Bärental valley. The spring is close to nature and is not artificially captured. It is partially fed by an underground stream. Next to it is a resting place.

Bärental (Krassach Valley)

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The Bärental near Wunkendorf is a quiet, shady and idyllic valley through which the Krassach flows. There are beautiful, large climbing rocks everywhere, for example the “Juraturm” or the “Geierstein”. You can also find benches to relax or to strengthen yourself.

Prehistoric Hunters' Rock Shelter

Highlight • Historical Site

The "Schräge Wand" is one of the most significant archaeological sites in the region. First used by humans as a shelter, the "Schräge Wand" probably dates from an early phase of the Mesolithic period. From this period, traces of a windbreak made of fur or branches and a hearth could be detected at a depth of approximately 1.4 meters.
