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.

A very interesting spring located directly on the path through the Bärental valley. Resting places in the form of benches are also available.

Design: This is a handcrafted, approximately two-meter-high panoramic heart made of steel, bearing the inscription "Görauer Anger." Function: The structure serves as a selfie spot and picture frame for the Jura landscape. It is equipped with a rotating seat. Location: The sculpture is located on the Görauer Anger, a scenic plateau on the edge of the Swabian Alps, offering views of the Kulmbach region and Plassenburg Castle.

On the Reuther Berg hill, at the top of the steep slope, stands the Sun Temple, a pavilion offering panoramic views far across Kasendorf. This is the second Sun Temple on this site. The first was built before 1936. The second, current Sun Temple was rebuilt in 1948/49. Two Kasendorf residents, master carpenter Fritz Schneider and carpenter Ferdinand Richter, undertook the construction of the pavilion themselves.

Around the pond are many small amenities, from information boards and a pavilion to photo frames, lounge chairs, and an animal enclosure. A lovely place to stroll and relax.

A small village with a beautiful chapel at the foot of the Niesten Castle ruins. The slopes surrounding the village are part of the northern foothills of the Franconian Jura.
