Beaver Dam Between Ebensfeld and Prächting

Highlight • Natural

A very large beaver dam, between Ebensfeld and Prächting.
The stream is dammed up for quite a distance.
Locals told me that when the water gets too high, the municipality releases it from time to time.

The Main winds its way idyllically through the valley. Especially around Unter- and Oberbrunn you will find a wonderful landscape with numerous altars and lakes. A look over the lush green meadows shows Markt Ebensfeld.
