Knopfstein (Bärnfels Mushroom)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The "button stone" is also called "Bärnfelser Pilz" and is an extraordinary rock formation near Bärnfels. The shape is reminiscent of a trouser button and was created by the weathering of the various layers of rock.

Three Peaks of Großenohe

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Three Peaks are actually in the Sexten Dolomites and are a bit bigger. The Franconian version is also nice to look at and definitely worth a stop.

Today we explored Franconian Switzerland.

Nice route, unfortunately the ground was a bit too wet. This made the descents far less exciting than they could have been. Still a nice route. At least it was dry from above, even if the wind was pretty cold.

Definitely an area that we could visit more often.

so now just cycling on the weekend and we have already successfully completed the Franconian winter triathlon! (skiing, hiking, cycling)
You could just feel the sun and the not-so-cold wind on your face again. But it went again on trails through the Franconian to the Three Peaks, that's just always nice!
The road conditions were a bit mixed between hard …
