The juniper heaths are among the most beautiful and valuable landscape elements in Franconian Switzerland. They have arisen over centuries of grazing with sheep and goats. If you look closely, you will see the animals' steps on the slope.

Since the juniper is not eaten by the animals because of its prickly needles, it can spread well in the pasture areas. It was also desirable in the past, because its wood was valued for smoking sausages and berries as a medicinal product.

Very beautiful, well-tended juniper heather.

There is a bench at the end of the juniper slope. Across the way, slightly set back in the forest, there is an unnamed rock formation with a great apricot, grotto and cave about 12 m deep. A mountain bike HL is created.
