Very nice descent. However, a good basic technique is essential, otherwise it will be dangerous.

The Otterbach valley, along with the Höllbach valley, is a paradise for hikers who enjoy rocky terrain.

Super idyllic and little-frequented, easily accessible forest paths

A very beautiful railway line cycle path with a moderate gradient and almost entirely surrounded by beautiful nature. There are rest stops at regular intervals along the path, and several newly created playgrounds also invite you to linger. Coming from Regensburg, the surface is initially asphalt, later changing to gravel.

Overall, a very nice tour, but because we noticed that the trail was quite steep here, we turned around in Frauenzell. So, the climb from Lindner Weiher wasn't so good.
