On this tour through the charming Franconian Forest, you will discover what can happen when man and nature work together. The many mills along the Rodach bear witness to how important the constantly flowing water was for work and development in the region.
At the Ködel dam, it is the drinking water dammed by humans that supplies the surrounding area with the basis of all life and also offers opportunities for sport and recreation. In a stony desert that was created as a spoil tip, nature has independently conquered a unique habitat. And on the southern edge of Kronach's more than thousand-year-old old town centre, man has used nature and culture to create an oasis of well-being from a polluted industrial estate.
