Deichselbach Tufa Terraces (Tufa Steps)

Highlight • Waterfall

The Deichselbach, which rises from several sources here, leaves behind a staircase made of tufa, which reaches about 20m into the valley. It is particularly worth coming here if there have been rainy days before.

View from the Dragonerspitz

Highlight • Viewpoint

The lime kiln has nothing to do with the Dragoon Spitz. In this case, it is a "cauldron" below the hiking trail above. Here you can climb and you will find the prayer flag.

December 4, 2022,Gebirgstrail von Tiefenhöchstadt nach Frankendorf, an den Sinterquellen zurück

With a trip to contemporary art. Can someone say something about the artist? I was totally impressed. It doesn't come across that way in the photos, but the sculptures aren't exactly where you just happen to walk past...

Since we had a very long family day with grandma and grandpa on Saturday, we didn't get up early until late... and then enjoyed the sun on the terrace at home for (too) long 👌🏼☀️😇

So... we were quite late again and had to make sure we got back to the car in time before dark 🙈
