Tüchersfeld rock village
Pottenstein, Germany
Half-timbered houses squeezed between jagged dolomite towers in the Püttlach valley, with the Franconian Switzerland museum inside. Use the lay-by on the B470 for the classic photo.
Tüchersfeld belongs to Pottenstein and lies in the Püttlach valley in Franconian Switzerland. Half-timbered houses lean against cone-shaped karst rocks formed from sponge reefs, and the village is regarded as a landmark of the region. Two castles stood here until the Thirty Years' War. The Judenhof, an ensemble of buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries, was restored between 1978 and 1982; it houses the Franconian Switzerland Museum, with exhibitions on the region's geology and archaeology. It also includes a synagogue dating from around 1763.
A small staircase leads through a cave up onto the rocks to a viewpoint overlooking the village and the Püttlach valley. Walkers will also find the Kühloch and a geotope educational trail nearby.
