Nice photo opportunity off the path. A narrow path up the slope leads to the rock gate. 😀

View of the Maintal, Burgkunstadt, Altenkunstadt, and Kordigast

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Ebnether Berg slopes south and west with a fairly noticeable edge into the Maintal and Rodachtal. This edge offers some beautiful viewpoints, some interesting sandstone cliffs and wonderful hiking trails. There are also a few convenient parking spaces for car hikers.
The vantage point described is located near the rock gate at the bottom edge of a narrow strip of forest.
You have a great view of the Main Valley, Burgstadt, Altenkunstadt and the Kordigast.
There are also interesting things to observe near the edge of the forest. There is a colony of wild bees here that drill their holes in the soft sand, leaving behind noticeable little piles of sand.

Ebnether Forest archery course

Highlight • Structure

The archery course in the Ebnether Forest (officially called the Felsenkeller course) is operated by the Bowhunter Oberlangenstadt club. It is considered one of the most beautiful 3D courses in Northern Bavaria and is known for its challenging, rocky terrain. Here's what you can expect: There are a total of 32 stations with 3D targets, which have been fully open again since August 1, 2025, following renovations. The course leads through a wooded area with impressive rock formations and offers a variety of shots, including long-distance uphill shots. Bows of all types (including compound bows) are permitted, but crossbows are prohibited.

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.

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.

Devil's Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The old stone bridge over the Teufelsgraben can be found in a wood between Burkersdorf and Oberlangenstadt. It is difficult to say why this was so elaborately built here. Maybe the Devil's Ditch once carried more water than it does these days.
