Waldschänke Streitbaum

Highlight • Pub

The term "dispute tree" is listed in the field names in the register of the Hetzles town hall. Field names are traditional names that usually indicate the original function of a particular place. It can therefore be assumed that in the past, justice was said under one or more trees on Hetzleser Berg.

View of Hetzles

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Hetzleser Berg is a table mountain, almost 550 meters high and about five kilometers long and up to two kilometers wide. The summit plateau has almost no trees. On the western flank of the mountain, numerous streams arise, e.g. the Haarbach, the Schlierbach and the Reppach, all of which drain the area southwards to the Schwabach as the receiving water.

Mindful on the Way Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

On the Jakobusweg from Effeltrich in the direction of Hetzles on the "Oberen Bühl" there is an unusual octagonal corridor chapel. Its designation "Mindful of the Path" indicates the importance of the chapel for the pilgrims. It is on the way that leads from Bamberg to Nuremberg, with long-term destinations in Italy and Spain. The octagonal shape of the chapel should be reminiscent of the church “Santa Maria von Eunate” - located on the Camino de Santiago in Spain. This type of construction can be found mainly in early Christian churches. The overhead windows are intended to protect the room. The colored, hand-blown Lamberts glasses are a real eye-catcher. The four cardinal virtues of bravery, justice, prudence and temperance can be found between the roof structure and the windows. In between the Christian virtues of faith, hope and love. The center is the altar, a natural oak trunk. The surrounding benches in the church symbolize the way they are set up: Nobody is sitting in the back or in front.

The builder of the chapel offers further information on the website 8x8sam.de/htm/chronik.html.
