Rock village Tüchersfeld
This time I simply translated an article from a German travel magazine GEO (the original article is here: www.geo.de/reisen/16531-rtkl-tuechersfeld-dieses-felsendo...)
Where is Tüchersfeld located?
The small village is situated in the lower Püttlach Valley in the heart of Franconian Switzerland. Tüchersfeld is approximately a one-hour drive from Bamberg and Nuremberg.
What makes the rock village special?
Like petrified giants, the rocks tower over the Franconian village of Tüchersfeld, while half-timbered houses and farmsteads nestle against these silent giants that originate from the primeval sea of the Jurassic period. The rock reef was once surrounded by the Püttlach River and only emerged when the river loop was severed. Since then, the remnants stand freely in the landscape, blending artistically with the village scenery. The bizarre rock formations, along with the caves, sinkholes, and valleys of the region, create an adventure playground for climbers and hikers. Worth seeing are also the natural monument Teufelshöhe, the viewpoint Fahnenstein, as well as Franconian castles and churches. The Franconian Switzerland Museum provides interesting information about the geotopic phenomenon.
