Hiking

The Wachknock at 517m is a beautiful panoramic mountain above Ebermannstadt. From the summit cross you have a beautiful view down into the Wiesenttal and the surrounding mountains of Franconian Switzerland. If you hike to the Wachknock, you can easily combine this with a detour to Burgstall Feuerstein and Burg Feuerstein.
