Town mill Wehrl

Highlight • Settlement

In the middle of the town of Waischenfeld is the town mill with one of the largest undershot water wheels in Franconian Switzerland. It has been owned by the Wehrl family since 1698. In 1948 the mill burned down to its foundations. It was rebuilt in its current form in 1949. The mill is still in operation, grinding rye and wheat from the region, for the region.

Tüchersfeld Rock Formations and Half‑Timbered Village

Highlight • Natural Monument

The small village of Tüchersfeld is dominated by an imposing rock castle. The rock formations towering up here are the remains of a reef that grew up in a tropical sea during the Jurassic period. Over the course of thousands of years, the small Püttlach cut into the Franconian dolomite, creating the Umlaufberg as an island.

Highlight • Historical Site

The Franconian Switzerland Museum is located in the small village of Tüchersfeld near Pottenstein in the so-called Judenhof and displays objects from the history of the earth, archeology, history, agriculture, costumes, popular piety, and crafts.
