Simultaneous-use church of St. Margareta in Frankenhof

Highlight • Religious Site

In 1323 Frankenhof was mentioned for the first time in the Salbuch of the Kastl monastery. The Kastl monastery had the right of patronage over the parish of Illschwang and the church in Frankenhof was "mentioned as belonging to Kastl" in this context. The Church of St. Margareta is one of the simultaneous churches on the cycle path of the same name.

Schlackenberg

Highlight • Structure

From 1893 until the Maxhütte closed, the production residues were transported to the so-called "Schlackenberg" and deposited there.
After the Maxhütte closed, the Free State of Bavaria took over legal and technical responsibility for the Schlackenberg. From 2005 to 2012, the government of Upper Palatinate carried out the urgently needed remediation of the former Maxhütte waste disposal site. This was necessary because of the dust drifts, the groundwater pollution in the surrounding area caused by the landfill, the oil-containing sludge ponds and the obvious stability problems in some areas of the landfill.

Country Hotel "Weißes Roß"

Highlight • Restaurant

The 4-star hotel in Illschwang is a family-run spa hotel. In the fifth generation, the family Nägerl leads the country hotel "White Horse" on a more than amazing level. Already in the 15th century, a guest house was first mentioned in a document. It lies, as befits a village inn, right next to the church. It has been family owned since 1840 and each generation has expanded the property to their own specifications. In the mid-sixties, agriculture was abandoned, and in the following years the butcher's shop was expanded. In addition, over the decades, guest rooms, a hall, a spa area and the sauna area were added. In 2013/2014, a new outdoor and indoor pool, luxurious rooms, treatment rooms for cosmetics, as well as reception and lobby were created.

Illschwang

Highlight • Settlement

Nestled amidst the magnificent Jura landscape of Upper Palatinate lies the gem of Illschwang. Winding alleys lead you past beautiful half-timbered houses adorned with magnificent floral displays. The Church of St. Vitus stands proudly and defensively over the village. It is one of the few churches with both denominations in Bavaria.

In addition to nature and culture, Illschwang also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine. Here, fragrant, freshly baked bread and pastries from the Wenkmann bakery, as well as delicacies from regional produce, await hungry cyclists in the restaurant of the family-run country hotel "Weißes Roß."
