Great. A small frozen idyll in winter. Located near the former inner-German border.

The old raft ponds are relics of rafting in the Franconian Forest. From the 16th century onwards, they were built on the upper reaches of the streams in order to optimize rafting with this water supply. Today, the former raft ponds are not only worth protecting from a historical point of view, because they have also developed into valuable biotope waters in the Franconian Forest. Numerous types of still water have settled here.
