Rosenmüller Cave

Highlight • Cave

If you want to illuminate them with tea lights, you should take a whole bag with you. And a rubbish bag: for the burned-out little lights. Attention, it is slightly slippery on the greasy stones... Have fun!!

November 1, 2023,Schwingbogen – Wunderschönes Muggendorf Runde von Streitberg

A fantastically beautiful tour from Streitberg through the Long Valley to the impressive Schwingbogen rock massif.
With a passage through the rock gate. However, caution should be exercised at the moment due to the wet conditions and the many wet and slippery leaves. After Neudorf and via the high path you reach the Brunhildenstein viewpoint. From there there is a …

January 19, 2025,177. Schwingbogen – Wildromantischer Bachlauf Runde von Streitberg

Hello everyone,
new Sunday, new hike 😉 . I felt like driving to Franconian Switzerland again to visit a few walk-in caves in the beautiful rocky landscape 😉 . The weather was so nice that we were really sad when the tour was over.
I hope everyone was outside and enjoyed the great weather as much as we did.

April 18, 2022,Schwingbogen-Runde Muggendorf, Rosenmüllerhöhle🥾🍃🥾

The detour to the Rosenmüller cave could certainly have been easier...Integrated into the path. That was also the actual plan... According to GPS data.... Unfortunately, our path led us below the cave, so that we made an extra detour at the end.

July 10, 2025,Schwingbogen – Wildromantischer Bachlauf Runde von Streitberg - ohne Muggendorf

In pleasant weather on beautiful trails, mostly through the forest, we repeated the tour from May 24 with our friend Gregor. This time we avoided the detour to Muggendorf on asphalt and in the traffic.

May 26, 2024,Runde von Streitberg Langes Tal nach Neudorf und Muggendorf

Mostly hiked with the Blauring markings, we missed the turnoff to the Rosenmüller cave. Komoot has planned a detour to Muggendorf, but Blauring leads past above the town. The route through Muggendorf and further along the B 470 is only worth it if you want to stop for a break.
Very varied route on good forest paths in the dense …

June 19, 2023,MP-FS-9 Muggendorf - Schwingbogen & Schönsteinhöle

When I arrived in Muggendorf shortly after eight today, the place was just waking up; Busyness spread, the first visitors were busy tending the graves at the cemetery.
A warm, muggy air lay over the landscape throughout the tour. The ascent to the Brünhildenstein was correspondingly sweaty. Arrived at the top, enjoyed the overwhelming view and took the first rest …
