The jap slender facet of the trench extends as a trenches barely curved from the northern mountain slope to the southern slope. Because the castle stables have not been archaeologically examined to this point, it isn't recognized when the native lords of Geyner moved from the primary castle to the second castle complicated, located in a south-southwest course and 280 meters away. There can be a flat wall surrounding the complete castle advanced. To today, nothing extra is understood about this small castle advanced, neither who had it built nor who sat on it or why it was destroyed.

Which means water that may usually finish up within the Danube by way of the Altmühl could be diverted towards the main if obligatory. This water will improve the water high quality of Regnitz and Foremost, which has been affected by intensive industrial and agricultural use.

The Großer Brombachsee, dammed by the principle dam, serves as a reservoir and the water degree can fluctuate by up to seven meters throughout regular operation as a result of irregular inflow and outflow. The Großer Brombachsee is about three meters deeper than the two preliminary dams.
