Market Square Wonsees

Highlight • Settlement

The market square in Wonsees with a fountain, town hall, half-timbered houses and Franconian gastronomy through the Tauer restaurants (with their own butcher's shop) and the "Zur Krone" inn as well as the "Schleichers Backhaus" cafe is always worth lingering here.

Zwernitz Castle

Highlight • Castle

Zwernitz Castle, first mentioned in documents in 1156, is perched on a huge rock massif. At that time, the 32-meter high keep was used for the transmission of smoke signals to Plassenburg to Kulmbach. From the castle you have a magnificent view over the Franconian Switzerland. In the immediate vicinity of the castle Zwernitz is the rock garden Sanspareil with the Oriental building.

View of Truppach and Mengersdorf

Highlight • Viewpoint

Truppach and Mengersdorf are neighboring districts of the municipality of Mistelgau. Truppach is primarily known for its historic castle, a former moated castle from the 14th century. In adjacent Mengersdorf, the St. Otto Church and a historic manor farm form the cultural centers. The region in the Truppach valley is a popular destination for hikers, especially due to attractions such as the WaldLebensWeg or the nearby Tafelberg Neubürg.

Plankenfels Castle

Highlight • Castle

An old, somewhat mysterious masonry nestled around the rock. Privately owned and therefore not to be visited from the inside.
