    Hiking

    On this beautiful hiking trail we can expect an almost untouched Schandaubertal with numerous mills and / or their remains. I'm sure: the Schandtaubertal is one of the most beautiful valleys in Central Franconia!

    Hiking

    The Schandtauber is a 13.8 km long tributary of the Tauber. It rises south of Gammesfeld on the Hohenloher Plain and winds its way as a trickle to Bettenfeld in Bavaria. There, water emerges from a karst spring from an underground cave system and the Schandtauber supplies most of the water. Now the river flows through the untouched Schandtauber Valley, past several mills, before flowing into the Tauber at the Schmelzmühle below Rothenburg.

    Hiking

    The Schandtauber Valley, which stretches southwest from Rothenburg to Bettenfeld, is a piece of untouched nature. Here you can really enjoy the peace and quiet and learn interesting things from geology to historical use of hydropower on the water management educational trail.
