Very nice hiking trails around and on the Walberla

I used to go up the Walberla as a very young boy with my brother when our mother was shopping at Spindler's butcher shop in Leutenbach (it was always hell on Friday afternoons and took forever). Even today it is still a beautiful excursion destination. TIP: The first weekend in May (this year from 01.05.2026) starting on Friday is the traditional Walberla festival with stalls, bratwurst stands, carousels, numerous brewers with tents, and so on. It is worth a visit, but you should go early, as all parking spaces around are gone by midday and then there are only masses of people up there. Please also note that the Walberla is now a nature reserve, please stay on the paths, take your rubbish back down.
