    A circular walk straight into nature
    The Pfalzbach Gorge is located just outside Neustadt an der Aisch. A 7.5 kilometer circular route (marking N3) leads from the fairground over the site of the former Franconian royal court Riedfeld into the middle of untouched nature. After the residential development, the Pfalzbach circular route plunges into a landscape in which nature is largely left to its own devices. First of all, the path runs through a narrow valley cut through the soft clay deposits of the Lehrberg strata. Partially equipped with stepping stones, the path climbs gently, then becomes steeper, up to the plateau of the sandstone. From here you can enjoy the wide view over the Aish valley and the foothills of the Frankenhöhe. On the paved road to the right, the café at the airport invites you to take a break with coffee and cake on Sundays and public holidays.
    It goes back through old orchards into the Pfalzbach gorge to the "Rote Marter",

      The café at the airport is open on weekends and public holidays. I can recommend the hike through the gorge, especially on hot days. It is quite muddy in places, so make sure you wear good shoes. There are plenty of places to sit, as the N3 circular route has many benches along the way. There are also rest areas with tables. Here you can still find cows grazing.
      If you don't know your way around so well, I recommend the 🅿️ at the festival site. The N3 circuit is around 7.5 km.
