Mountain biking

The juniper heaths are among the most beautiful and valuable landscape elements in the Franconian Switzerland. They have emerged through centuries of grazing with sheep and goats. If you look closely, you will recognize the steps of the animals in the slope.
Since the juniper is not eaten by the animals because of its spiky needles, it can spread well in the pastures. He was also desired in the past, because his wood was used for smoking sausages and the berries as a remedy.
