    Hiking

    The Obere Wiesenttal between Neidenstein and Hollfeld is a particularly natural section of Franconian Switzerland. In contrast to the more touristically developed areas further downstream (near Pottenstein or Muggendorf), the Wiesent here is still a narrow, meandering stream.
    The valley is characterized by wide, lush floodplains and wet meadows, framed by the typical limestone rocks of the Jura. The slopes are partly wooded, partly marked by striking dolomite rocks, which are so characteristic of the region. The valley also serves as a refuge for rare plants and bird species.
