Who needs the Allgäu? A beautiful route around the lake surrounded by the mountains of Hersbrucker Schweiz. The path is well paved, has enough places to rest and there is also a history path from Happurg

Very nice tour around the reservoir of Happurg and the Hohen Fels. A good surefootedness is advisable. The lake invites you to relax afterwards. From the afternoon onwards, when the weather is nice, there is a lot going on.

On rainy autumn days, the path from Lake Happurg to Hohle Fels reveals its most tranquil side. A fine rain hangs in the branches, the leaves gleam darkly, and a light mist drifts over the lake. Between the showers, the sun breaks through briefly, bathing the forest and rocks in golden light and making drops glitter like tiny stars. At …

Very nice hike along the lake and up to the "Hohlen Fels".
Afterwards there was of course a reward in the very crowded "Seeterrassen"

It was a really fun family outing this afternoon to Happurg (Nürnberger Land district/Middle Franconia) to the Happurg Reservoir (my current Komoot profile photo was taken here over 3 years ago 🌤🏞📸), including a climb to the Hohle Fels with its magnificent panoramic views of the reservoir and surrounding area!

Great hike from Happurg. Take the S-Bahn to Happurg. Then climb the steep hill to Hohle Fels. There are lots of hikers at the top, and a surprising number of young people. From the top, there's a fantastic view of the reservoir. After the descent, take a leisurely walk along the lake and back to the train station.

Hiking took about 2 hours with a short break

A wonderful walk along the tranquil lake, recharge your batteries at the Kneipp facility, at the blooming orchard, and then enjoy the unique view of the lake from the cliffs. Pure relaxation🌷🌞🍀

"Hohler Fels" is always a good option. It's just a fantastic view. And today was the first time in a long time that we didn't meet a single hiker😅
