Hiking

There are several places to stop for refreshments on this circular hike to keep you motivated. After a few kilometers on foot, beer and roast taste twice as good. From the observation tower on the Moritzberg, you can look back with satisfaction at the route you have covered and enjoy the landscape.

The hike starts at a car park on the outskirts of Diepersdorf. A few streets will quickly take you to the Lorenzer Reichswald, where the pines smell wonderful on warm days. As soon as you emerge from between the trees, you can see your next destination, Leinburg, behind which the Moritzberg rises. In the pretty town, a brewery invites you to stop for a break. However, you still have a steep climb ahead of you - so maybe just a small Seidla?

You then reach the Moritzberg via field paths, which you climb over almost 200 meters in altitude. Fortunately, the steep climb is in the shady forest. At the top, an observation tower and a restaurant sweeten your well-deserved break. Afterwards you will descend back to Diepersdorf, where you will have something to eat again. So you won't come home hungry today.

Moritzberg Mountain Inn

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The "Berggasthof Moritzberg" on the summit of Moritzberg is a quaint restaurant right next to the 600 year old Mauritius chapel and the Hindenburg tower, offering all kinds of Franconian delicacies, coffee and cake. The prices are fair, the portions are tidy and the service is brisk and nice. In summer you can enjoy your "Radlerhalbe" in the beautiful beer garden.

On soft, sandy paths with pine needles, we head out of Diepersdorf into the country. Simply beautiful, you just want to keep going. Then we reach Leinburg and of course have to appreciate the local products of the oldest private brewery in the Nuremberg region in the Bräustüberl - unfortunately it was still too early to eat. The gentlemen of the community sit at the long table and reflect on the past week. A liter of festival beer in a glass mug, a half liter in a stone, tall wheat beer, a white beer, etc. The festival beer from the Bub brewery is really a festive product, fresh, tart and relatively dark. What comes next should not be imitated. The off-grid section leads into a steep slope - there is not even the vaguest hint of a path there. Wet soil, damp leaves. Could have been easily bypassed with a loop on the right. When the Hindenburg Tower comes into view afterwards, the mood is perfect again. The traditional cuisine of the Berg Gasthof Moritzberg is also perfect - welcome to the mountain. Wonderful! The way back down into the valley is slippery, but not a steep slope that you would have to slide down on your bottom. Unfortunately we were too late for the beautiful old inn Zum Rockenbrunn from 1656 - only open until 4 p.m. on Sundays. Have fun on this tour, happy new year or avoid it. 🌲🌳😁🐶😁🌳🌲🌳🍀🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
