nature

Stone channel near Kurzenaltheim

West of Kurzenaltheim there is a stone channel about 30 meters long and up to 10 centimeters high . It is essentially deepened and its natural development is disturbed by human interference. Most of the moss needed for growth is missing. The hiking trails Frankenweg and Altmühltal-Panoramaweg lead past the channel . The channel is part of the FFH area of ​​the eaves of the southern Franconian Jura .

The stone channel was vandalized in January 2018. The limestone trough was demolished over a length of around 15 meters and removed. It is now leaky in many places. Attempts were made to disguise the natural crime with a makeshift "repair".
