Hiking Highlight
Hohler Fels (Happurg) is the name of a karst cave near Happurg on the Franconian Alb. In addition to the cave, the neighboring rock face also bears this name. The cave, which opens to the south, is 546 meters above sea level, below the former Celtic fortification called Houbirg (617 meters). The 16 meter long and six meter high cave on the southern slope of the summit was registered as a ground monument in the Bavarian list of monuments because of finds from the Stone Age and the Urnfield Age. There is a natural bridge with two openings in front of the cave.

The hollow rock is one of the "must-see" highlights in the Nuremberg region. In all seasons, the rock with its various caves, rock formations and viewpoints has its charm, even in the evening. However, this highlight is placed a bit too far north and not directly on the hollow rock.

This spacious cave, about 20 meters long, five meters high and up to ten meters wide, is located in the hollow rock above Happurg. It forms one of the foothills of the Jura plateau to the west, which slopes down relatively steeply to Hersbruck Bay.

From the "Hohler Fels" there is a beautiful view of the Happurg reservoir and the surrounding area, on top of the rock there is also the most photographed tree in Franconia 😁. Be careful, no barriers on the rock face.

Great view over Happurg and the Happurger reservoir. There are several lookout points, each offset by a few feet to erkraxeln. Every job is worth it! Attention with children: the viewing rocks are not secured and it goes down steeply.

Grandiose view! Surefootedness is helpful. With a little luck you can watch climbers.

After a short crisp rise simply great views of the Hersbrucker basin and the surrounding hills. At the beginning of autumn, when the trees are slowly coloring, simply an absolute highlight with a sensational view of the surrounding landscape.
