The air in the pavilion has a salt content of about 25%, which moisturizes and positively influences the respiratory tract. I found it pleasant 😊

The moated castle is almost hidden away, accessible via a small road that branches off from Sulzdorf at Lederhecke. https://inges-reiseblog.de/wasserschloss-brennhausen/

The Baunach is a nearly 54-kilometer-long right and northern tributary of the Main in Bavaria (Germany). Part of the floodplain landscape of the Baunach is a nature reserve. The first evidence of the river dates back to 1321 (Bunach). The defining word of the name Baunach comes from the Middle Low German word Būne for 'groyne, bank protection structure', the root word ach occurs in many water names and means water, body of water.[5] An alternative derivation is based on the Indo-European word bhu (swell). Accordingly, Baunach would have the overall meaning of swelling water. The Baunach rises in the Haßberge mountains, which belong to the Franconian Keuper-Lias region, and separates the actual Haßberge from the Haßberge Zeilberge of the Itz-Baunach hill country. The Baunach rises in the Sulzfeld Forest south of the Großer Breitenberg, northeast of the Laubhügel and east of the village of Leinach. The Baunach flows into the Main in Baunach. (Wikipedia)
