Ebrach Abbey
Highlight • Religious Site
The former Cistercian Abbey of Ebrach is a popular destination. With its wonderful rosette, the Gothic church and the castle-like baroque monastery are one of the regional highlights that are well worth seeing
The Cistercian Abbey of Ebrach was probably the most important place for the intellectual and colonization development of the western Bamberg region and the entire Steigerwald region. In the depths of the Steigerwald, which they reclaimed, monks practically created a Romanesque and from 1200 the most magnificent early Gothic building in Germany in the depths of the Steigerwald, as the art historian Konrad Dehio judged. Generous foundations and support from the Staufer kings allowed the new foundation to flourish and prosper. In the 18th century, the Ebrach monastery was fundamentally redesigned by Leonhard Dientzenhofer into a castle-like baroque complex, fortunately the Gothic church with its wonderful rose window remained. In 1803 the monastery was secularized. The wonderful wooded surroundings of the Steigerwald and the historical past of this site of monastic culture made Ebrach a popular attraction.

Untersteinbach lies at the confluence of three brooks: Schmerbach in the south and Steinbach in the north flow into the Rauhe Ebrach here.
The historical beginnings
Untersteinbach then became the seat of the administration of the municipality of Rauhenebrach in 1972, when, in the course of the district reform, this new municipality was formed through the voluntary merger of 9 municipalities from three different districts. Untersteinbach today has 650 inhabitants.
Village square with linden tree and parish church
Untersteinbach's main sights are the church tower of St. Vitus, the old linden tree and the Luitpold monument. The late Gothic church tower forms the remainder of a late Gothic complex, probably from the 15th century. The three-axle nave was probably changed in the 18th century and completely replaced by a new building in 1970. All that remains of the historical substance is the sturdy three-storey tower with its belt cornices and the octagonal real helmet, as well as a crucifixion group, which is dated to 1720. The massive old village linden in front of it is 400 years or even more old and a natural monument. In 1911 it was sentenced to death and should be felled: it was "hollow and rotten through and through" and therefore "dangerous to the public". But meanwhile she has survived her death sentence by 90 years and, together with the Luitpold monument and the church tower behind it, forms an unmistakable center of the town.

Fabrikschleichach Climb
Highlight (Segment) • Climb
Right below the village, the steepest part of the climb drops off abruptly.
If you can manage that, you should be able to manage the rest!
But the climb is long, so conserve your energy.
