Aura an der Saale Valley Panorama

The Franconian Saale Valley

This camera overlooks the valley of the Franconian Saale (Fränkische Saale), a gentle river landscape of open fields, hedgerows and low wooded hills that defines the heart of Lower Franconia. The panorama captures the patchwork of farmland and forest that has shaped this corner of Bavaria for centuries.

HOBOS Station and Aura an der Saale

The viewpoint sits at the HOBOS research station above the village of Aura an der Saale, a small community in the Bad Kissingen district. From this vantage the camera pans across the village, its surrounding meadows and the quiet country roads that thread through the valley.

Landmarks in View

The sweep takes in the Klosterkirche Aura, a historic monastery church, and a well-known paragliding launch site on the valley slopes. Together they make this a favourite spot for outdoor enthusiasts and admirers of the region's scenery.

A Window on Rural Lower Franconia

Part of the Rhön and Saale region renowned for its protected nature and rolling uplands, this panorama offers a constantly shifting view of one of Bavaria's most peaceful rural settings, from the river plain up to the wooded heights.
