View of Karlstadt from the Kalbenstein Nature Reserve

Highlight • Viewpoint

Many rare plants and animal species can be found in the Kalbenstein nature reserve. Therefore, the paths should only be left if absolutely necessary.
All cyclists should avoid this area! Please use the mountain bike paths and pay attention to the prohibition signs.

Maingestellsgraben

Highlight • Gorge

The name "Maingestellsgraben" is unwieldy, but it fits the tangle that currently exists there. What is it all about? The "Maingestellsgraben" is a small side valley that branches off from the Main Valley behind the Karlstadt industrial park. It is part of the Grainberg-Kalbenstein nature reserve. But over the years, the area has become heavily overgrown. There are also several trash-strewn buildings and rusty fences there. That's about to change.

Nature reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

The nature reserve Grainberg-Kalbenstein-Saupurzel, which begins east of Karlstadt and reaches as far as Gambach, is characterized by different habitats and geological formations. In it you can find Muschelkalkbastionen, Buntsandsteinterrassen and vineyard walls as well as seams, hedges, sands, heat-loving forests, Ackerweut sites and various dry grasslands. The drylands are considered the most floristic and faunistic rich in Bavaria.
