A beautiful path leads all the way around Lower Franconia's largest lake. The lake is a great place for a break. You can grab a snack at the kiosk and, if the weather's nice, sit on the sandy beach.

The present Renaissance-Baroque palace in Friesenhausen also dates back to a Gothic castle. More information at: http://www.schloss-friesenhausen.de/baugeschichte.html

Wetzhausen Castle is still owned by the old Franconian Truchsess von Wetzhausen family. It is not open to visitors.

In the center of the village, the so-called "Gerichtslinde" (Courtyard Lime Tree) next to the Catholic Church of St. Michael catches the eye. (Wikipedia) Lime Tree (Tilia cordata) This freestanding, approximately 280-year-old lime tree, surrounded by sandstone columns, stands on a slight hill next to the church in the center of Birnfeld. https://www.naturpark-hassberge.de/detail/id=600a9609d251661603bd9d06
