    Mountain biking

    The mountain of Franconia - officially it's called Ehrenbürg and is crowned by the Walburgis chapel. Here you just have to go up and enjoy the view!
    In front of the chapel there is a sculpture of St. Walburga by the sculptor Ernst Steinacker with the inscription "God in your heart."

    Mountain biking

    The Walberla (512 m) is considered the local mountain of the Franks and the crowning summit in a landscape blessed by nature. Together with the Rodenstein (531 m) forms the witness mountain the so-called Ehrenbürg, which can be seen from afar. In addition to the Staffelberg and the Kreuzberg (Rhön), the Walberla is also known as the Holy Mountain of the Franks.
