Beautiful corner here in the Leintal. The cycle path winds idyllically through fields and meadows along the little river Lein.

Hidden in the middle of the forest near Spraitbach is the Götzenlochhöhle, a small, enchanted natural sandstone cave in the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park. Unlike the large dripstone caves of the Swabian Jura, the Götzenloch owes its charm primarily to its quiet location and the special atmosphere between mossy forest and shady paths. The unusual name is presumably due to old legends or pre-Christian cult sites. Nobody knows for sure anymore. That's precisely what makes the place so exciting. A perfect spot for a short break in the middle of the forest, including a little piece of Ostalb mysticism.

We found the "Waffeley" completely by chance while cycling. After a couple at a crossroads in the middle of the forest told us: "You absolutely have to go there, they have delicious waffles!" We followed their advice and.... Hmmmm :-) delicious. The waffles live up to what is promised. They were really "super delicious". The place is very idyllic and also very natural :-) So for a cyclist's break, the small detour is definitely worth it.
