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.
