Nice climb, hardly any traffic.

The Mariengrotte above the Bärenschlucht is a significant memorial and devotional site, closely linked to the region's history. It is hidden on the rock faces between the Bärenschlucht and the village of Weidmannsgesees. The grotto was erected in memory of a soldier from Weidmannsgesees who returned severely wounded from World War I in 1917. It has served as a place of silence and prayer ever since. Like many grottos in Franconian Switzerland, it is designed in the style of a Lourdes grotto, often with a statue of Mary and small candle offerings from visitors. Especially in the evening, when lights are burning on holidays, it is considered a very atmospheric place in the middle of the forest.

The Rote Main is the longer of the two headwaters of the Main river and significantly shapes the cityscape of Bayreuth. The river owes its name to the clay-rich soils of its catchment area. Especially after rainfall, reddish clay particles are washed into the water, giving it a characteristic reddish-brown color. It originates in the Lindenhardter Forst in the Franconian Switzerland, about 10 kilometers south of Bayreuth. At around 72 to 73 kilometers, it is significantly longer than the Weiße Main. Near Kulmbach (Schloss Steinenhausen), it merges with the Weiße Main to form the actual Main.

The Held inn and brewery in Oberailsfeld has been family-owned for over 300 years, and they definitely serve some of the best beers from our Upper Franconian brewers. Besides a Helles, a Dunkel, a Pilsner, and a Hefeweizen, they also offer a delicious Bock beer on tap during Lent, and a full-bodied Weizenbock during Advent. In summer, an idyllic beer garden invites you to cool off and enjoy a refreshing drink.

A small romantic town on the Pegnitz

The old town hall formerly served as a sales hall for bread and meat products, a frequently used dance floor, a prison (known as the "Narrenhäuslein"), a fire extinguisher's house, and a post office. Later, it housed the savings bank. Today, the old town hall houses the residents' registration office, the passport office, the assembly hall, and the wedding hall.
