Pottenstein, Urban municipality in Bayreuth district, Germany
The municipality sits at the intersection of three valleys - Püttlach, Weihersbach, and Haselbrunn - surrounded by high limestone cliffs at 368 meters elevation.
Saint Elisabeth of Hungary experienced captivity within Pottenstein Castle from 1228 to 1229, leading to the creation of the Elisabeth Route walking path.
