Sinter Terraces of Weißenbrunn vorm Wald

Highlight • Natural Monument

The calcareous water of the Birkertsbach formed sinter terraces along the Mergelgasse, which are really worth seeing. The artificially supported waterfalls overcome a height of 15 meters in four stages.

Froschgrundsee Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Schönstädtspeicher, built in 1986 - better known as Froschgrundsee - extends to nearby Thuringia and is a paradise for swimmers, surfers and canoeists. The bathing season is well taken care of: there are sunbathing areas, toilets and parking spaces at the lake. In addition, bike and hiking trails lead to and around the reservoir.
