Those who love nature can let their senses and eyes wander here. Good footwear is our recommendation. Those who want to hike a bit more. Can continue to Ungelstetten in the gorge and then for strengthening for the way back, delicious cake & coffee in the café in Ungelstetten. 👍

It's all wonderful terrain, undulating with some physical challenges (Moritzberg / Entenberg) and great views of Hersbrucker Schweiz.

It's really beautiful, climbing a small hill. Unfortunately, there's no shade there, but there's a bench with a view.

More beautiful, but the narrow sections at the two bridges are unpleasant. Better to switch to the road.

A well-maintained bike path next to the road. The view of Moritzberg is fantastic, and good progress is guaranteed.
