The Mariengrotte above the Bärenschlucht is a significant memorial and devotional site, closely linked to the region's history. It is hidden on the rock faces between the Bärenschlucht and the village of Weidmannsgesees. The grotto was erected in memory of a soldier from Weidmannsgesees who returned severely wounded from World War I in 1917. It has served as a place of silence and prayer ever since. Like many grottos in Franconian Switzerland, it is designed in the style of a Lourdes grotto, often with a statue of Mary and small candle offerings from visitors. Especially in the evening, when lights are burning on holidays, it is considered a very atmospheric place in the middle of the forest.

The Main-Danube Canal connects the Main River near Bamberg, via the Altmühl River near Dietfurt, to the Danube River near Kelheim over a length of 171 kilometers, crossing the European Watershed at its highest point. This technically demanding project was constructed between 1960 and 1992 and opened to traffic 30 years ago. The canal is heavily fished, and the most commonly caught fish are carp, perch, pike, eel, catfish, zander, and bream. The most successful fishing method is bottom fishing.

Excellent views both upstream and downstream. You can also enjoy watching the activity in the boat harbor. The statues of the Virgin Mary and St. John Nepomuk (?) on the bridge are definitely worth a second look.
