Held-Bräu Inn

Highlight • Pub

After a hike worth a detour to Oberailsfeld anyway. In the inn there is a decent snack and the good hero beer.

Wednesday is closed.

Marian Grotto (Bear Gorge)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Mariengrotte above the Bärenschlucht is reminiscent of a soldier from Weidmannsgesees, who was badly wounded but returned alive from the First World War in 1917.

Pottenstein is a prime example of a town in the heart of Franconian Switzerland, not only for its stalactite cave but also for its magnificent historical buildings, making it always worth a visit. Very lovely cafes and restaurants with Franconian delicacies. Very beautiful surroundings with wonderful hiking, biking and cycling trails. The adjacent Püttlachtal, a real highlight with fantastic trails, is worth mentioning 🫶

Devil's Cave, Pottenstein

Highlight • Cave

The Devil's Cave is an impressive stalactite cave and part of the “Jura Caves Adventure World”. It is the largest of the numerous caves in Franconian Switzerland and a popular excursion destination, which is why the cave is sometimes "a little" overcrowded at peak times and during the holidays. The tour through the cave is a great experience; in addition to the stalactites, you can also marvel at the skeleton of a cave bear. After the tour, you can enjoy coffee and cake in the terrace cafe at the entrance. You should plan a visit at less busy times, it's worth it.
