Vineyard Pathway in Lower Franconia

Highlight • Trail

I'm always surprised when you look back at where you came from. In this case, at the back of the forest. Then trail running is even more fun! Only a few more meters through the vineyards to the "summit cross"!

Homburg Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The first stone has stood on the next here since 1008... as a castle always undefeated! A real hiker's hit, including the surrounding landscape that is under nature protection

Homburg Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The Homburg was built 1028 - 1031 Reinhart von Hohenberg from Adelsberg. Highly recommended is the visit to the "Schoppen Franz" a Franconian wine tavern with panoramic views.

View of Hohhafter Berg from the Ruins of Homburg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Generous, spacious facility where people will surely gather at the right time.. Seating and rest areas available... on my lap that was rainy today, the only dry spot was a shelter

Ruine Homburg Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

In spring, the meager lawn landscape is particularly interesting due to the countless flowering pasque flowers and spring Adonis florets.

Was a nice tour. Unfortunately, the signage is very poor on the way. No chance without GPS. Unfortunately. But it was very pleasant to walk through the forest. The goal then compensates again. Great views in all directions.
