Pfersag Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

At the "Pfersag-Wasserfall" you come by the circular walk Felsensteig or on the Gottesgartenrundweg Nord. The last few meters to the waterfall can be slippery and muddy. The about two meters high waterfall at Ebneth is something special. The Pfersag Waterfall is a horseshoe waterfall - like the North American Niagara Falls, only in miniature. After prolonged rain periods, the water flows over the entire rock stage and during dry periods, only a narrow beam flows over the middle. So recommended in every season.

Holzfrauen Stäffele Sandstone Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Holzfrauenstäffele (Wooden Women's Steps) is a striking sandstone formation in the Ebnether Forest. Its name derives from the legends of the "Holzfräulein" (Wood Maidens) – shy forest spirits who, according to local tradition, were said to live in the crevices and caves of the Ebnether sandstone cliffs. The "Stäffele" (Franconian for small staircase or step) was once a popular viewpoint. Today, however, the surrounding trees have grown so tall that instead of a sweeping panorama, one primarily encounters impressive sandstone cliffs and dense forest.

Burgkunstadt Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

Quite a nice market square
The beautiful market square of Burgkunstadt is located in the upper town. On the north-eastern corner of the market square is the Catholic parish church of St. Heinrich and Kunigunde, which is well worth seeing. There are also many beautiful old houses around the market square, including many half-timbered houses. On the market square there is a monument to Saint Nepomuk, who was "active" here as a guardian for the water supply. In the western part of the market square (corner of Fliehgasse / Vogtei) is the German Shoe Museum.

The Pfersag Waterfall is a horseshoe waterfall - like the North American Niagara Falls, only in mini. After long periods of rain, the water flows over the entire rock step and during dry periods only a narrow stream flows over the middle. The name of the waterfall means in Franconian: "when a horse lets water" and is spoken as Pfersaach. …

My first 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣ tour in Upper Franconia today took me to the Obermain to Burgkunstadt (Lichtenfels district), where I first inspected the nice old town with all sorts of pretty half-timbered houses and some "nagging" sculptures around the bailiwick in the foggy, cloudy January weather for a bit, before it We quickly left the city in the direction of the …
