Aufseß Valley

If you want to hike in a quiet, beautiful river valley without car traffic and all the hustle and bustle of tourism, this is the right place for you.
The Aufseß flows in the middle of the Franconian Switzerland-Veldenstein Forest Nature Park. There is no road in the Aufseß valley between Wüstenstein and Doos, which makes the approximately six kilometer long valley area suitable as a hiking area. The Aufseßtal hiking trail is a section of the Main-Donau-Weg (Jura line). The small river that flows into the Wiesent and bears the same name as the old Franconian noble family of this area is a very natural limestone stream in the trout region. At its mouth into the Wiesent, the Aufseß formed the Doos, once the most powerful waterfall in Franconia, on a three-meter-high limestone tuff barrier that was dismantled around 1850.

The car-free valley of the Aufseß offers a wonderful landscape and is made for hiking.
