The Houbirg is a mountain near Happurg in Middle Franconia with an abandoned Celtic oppidum of the same name. Remains of the walls, some of which are still ten meters high, have been preserved and, with a length of four and a half kilometers, enclose an area of almost one square kilometer. In addition, a prehistoric site, a castle stable and a tunnel complex built as part of the underground relocation bear witness to the history of the survey.

Hiking

Magnificent views of the surrounding area from Hohle Fels, nice seating for a rest with a view of the Happurg reservoir. Very popular place and very busy in summer. Not recommended on weekends.

Mountain biking

Grandiose view from the beautiful rock formation into the surrounding area, great seats for a rest with a view of the Happurg reservoir. In summer, however, all hell is going on there!
