Nunn's Grave (Grave of the Nun Dorothea Hofin)

Highlight • Historical Site

It is said that she was a nun who lived in the Domain Court in Rieth. Due to the turmoil of the 30-year war, poverty and hunger prevailed throughout the country. In the nun's yard, too, supplies were running out. In order to at least have milk, the nun asked the farmers of Rieth for a cow. In exchange she offered her entire lands and farm. But no one could grant her this request. After her death, Dorothea's possessions became state property. The area of the nunnery is 86.34 ha. That is as much as 120 football pitches. A memorial stone known as the Nonnenstein was erected as a reminder and reminder. The memorial stone was restored in 1997 and recognized as an official ground monument. That is, it is represented in maps.
The real identity of Dorothea has not been proven, but in fact there was a monastery courtyard in Rieth that belonged to the Upper Franconian convent at Sonnefeld
belonged.

Nonnenholz Adventure Trail

Highlight • Trail

Nice activity areas for children, some of them need updating. At the upper end, there's a hut with benches next to it. Further up, until recently, there was a wild boar enclosure.

Highlight • Parking

From here you can reach the Nonnenholz in a short time. You can get to the car park by always orienting yourself in the direction of the village center in Rieth and then continuing on the gravel path.

Schmidt's Ruh Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Right next to the parking lot is this small shelter, built privately by the tenant of the lake. A nice place.
