🏛️ Giechburg

Highlight • Castle

The castle is located on the western end of a rocky Jurakuppe in Spornlage visible from far above the valley. The third section of the plateau to the east of the ridge marks the location of a bishop's counter-castle of the first half of the 12th century. The castle in its present form goes back to the construction activity of Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp von Gebsattel in the years 1602 to 1609. The two wings in the south and west have now been modernized and are used as a castle restaurant and conference venue of the district administration. The eastern part of the castle was sealed off from the beginning by the high shield wall and the keep.

Pilgrimage Church of St. Pankratius (Gügel Church)

Highlight • Religious Site

Pilgrimage church Gügel was first mentioned as a castle with a chapel in 1274 and rebuilt after destruction in the Peasants' War in 1525. Very interesting is the access to the church from the back side over very narrow corridors and stairs. Makes children happy too!

Eulenstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Eulenstein is the guardian of the Ellertal, which is also called the Franconian Tuscany. The view from this rock formation is terrific. The city of Bamberg is the nature lover here almost at your feet. Goats regularly graze here in the summer, so that the unique natural landscape of the grasslands continues to be preserved.

The Eulenstein is located to the east of the small village of Tiefenellern. The rock is also known as the Eulenwand and towers over the picturesque Ellertal in Franconian Tuscany. When the weather is clear, you can see the Steigerwald from up there and see sights of Bamberg, such as the Altenburg.

The sight of the Giechburg is always beautiful. Especially if you drive through the Pünzental
