St. George Fountain (Nackerte Schore), Burglengenfeld

Highlight • Monument

The imposing city fountain from 1995 shows the - four meters high and completely naked - bronze figure of a "George", who defeated a dragon.
He thus attacks the central motif of the Burglengenfeld coat of arms, which was assigned to the city in 1542 on the occasion of the city survey by the Count Palatine Ottheinrich and Philipp.
Too bad that too much traffic over the market place disturbs the beautifully landscaped location.

I explored the city center of Burglengenfeld on foot, as there is really a lot to see.

The "House Without a Roof," as it is officially known, is a still-used cave dwelling in the Upper Palatinate market town of Kallmünz. The cave is located north of the Vils River at the southern end of the Schlossberg (Castle Hill), upon which the Kallmünz Castle ruins stand. The entrance is set back from Vilsgasse (Vils Lane) at the foot of an approximately 20-meter-high limestone cliff of the Schlossberg, and access is via a passage between the listed residential buildings at Vilsgasse 26 and Vilsgasse 28.

The house consists of a natural cave in the dolomite rock, the opening of which is closed off by a plastered wall with a door and windows. Inside, there is a hallway, a living room, two storage rooms fitted into rock niches, and a historic smokehouse.

The oldest known mention of the cave dwelling is found in a document dated 1707, preserved in the land registry archive in Amberg. In the 19th century, it was also referred to as the "House Under the Rock." In 1908, it was sold to the owner of the blacksmith's shop located across the road, and it remains in his family's possession. The last permanent resident left the house in 1937 because he developed rheumatism due to the damp cave air.

Mediocre tour. Not really recommended. The cycle path runs mostly next to the road. Between the two cycle paths you ride entirely on the road.
