The information panel describes the historic waterwheels on the Regnitz River near Baiersdorf. These wheels are a unique cultural monument in the region, once used to irrigate the surrounding meadows. Background Information Purpose: For centuries, the waterwheels were used to pump warm, bacteria-rich surface water from the Regnitz River onto the sandy soils of the irrigated meadows. History: In the 18th and 19th centuries, over 200 of these wheels operated between Schwabach and Forchheim. Today, only a few surviving examples can be seen near Möhrendorf. Operation: According to the "Baiersdorf Water Ordinance" of 1693, the wheels may only operate from May 1st to September 30th of each year.

Cultural Monument: The remaining Möhrendorf waterwheels are recognized as intangible cultural heritage and are maintained by associations and dedicated farmers. ... (Source via AI mode)

The climb from Ebermannstadt is quite a challenge. In town, the road climbs straight up first, then continues in switchbacks, sometimes with gradients up to 14%, if you can trust the signs. Up on the plateau, there are a few more meters of elevation gain to the airport, which are quite a pain. The descent is not easy, with tight turns. Caution is advised here.

The church is striking because it is actually "two churches." The first church was built in the mid-19th century and, after just over 70 years, was expanded in 1923 with a further long building with an octagonal tower. This is how the church today appears as a church made up of two churches. The interior was renovated two years ago.
