Buttertöpfe near Frauenstein are a cluster of rounded granite potholes and small cascades carved into bedrock — great for intimate landscape shots of textures, flowing water and abstract patterns. Accessible via a short forest walk from Frauenstein (limited parking in town); no entry fee. Best light is low-angle morning or late afternoon for surface texture; overcast days soften highlights for long exposures. In winter the formations pick up snow and rime for graphic monochrome images. Trailscan
