Attractions

Parish Church of St. Katharina Nittendorf

• Parish Church of St. Katharina in Nittendorf :

The church was built in 1730 by the Examining Monastery . The older tower should still come from the previous building. In 1895 the church was expanded. Inside, a wooden figure of Mary on the crescent moon from 1500, several tombstones and confessionals with acanthus carvings are noteworthy. In 2012, a statue of the Virgin, donated by the Nittendorf Boys' Association, was set up in a niche above the entrance portal.

• Eichhofen Castle Brewery
• Etterzhausen Castle :

The two-storey complex with an octagonal tower was built in its current form in 1590 by the then owner of Etterzhausen's Hans Siegmund von Erlbeck. It was rebuilt after being destroyed by fire in the Thirty Years War. In 1799 it was expanded by the then owner Friedrich Freiherr von Dittmer. It has been owned by the Fromm family since 1858.

• Alpinensteig , hiking trail through rock formations of the Franconian Jura with a summit cross
• Robber's cave near Etterzhausen:

The Werdenfels house is a Werdenfels mountain house. In 1906 it was erected at an exhibition in Nuremberg . Geller von Kühlwetter bought the model house, had it set up as a private villa near Eichhofen and gave it his name. In 1929 the diocesan presence bought it and used it as a youth sanctuary. In 1934 and 1935 the house was extended by two chapels and used as a retreat home. In 1940 it was confiscated by the SS and used as a transit camp. After further uses as a home for sick resettlers and then as a baby hospital for the city of Regensburg, it was confiscated by the Americans in 1945. It has been a retreat house again since 1947.

Simple medieval church with a square tower and pyramid roof. The west wall consists of adjacent rock. A remarkable memorial stone of the Sauerzapf family from 1708.
