You sometimes have to pay close attention when navigating the route. Some …

May 20, 2024,Rund um die Naab: Zwischen Pielenhofen und Etterzhausen

Wonderful hike around the Naab with some steep climbs, but worthwhile views of the Naab valley.
Free parking at the starting point in Pielenhofen.
From Etterzhausen, great signage on the Jurasteig!
Highlights are the fairly large robber's cave and the lost place in the old quarry.

Right at the beginning, the castle 🏰 Etterzhausen... after that, 90% of the way through the Jurasteig... past the Robbers' Cave... two pointed towers towering towards us... …
