The Schottental is certainly one of the most beautiful valleys in the Franconian Palatinate. Fauna and flora are varied and interesting from April to October, you can safely cross the small stream on stepping stones.

In the valley floor there are species-rich, moderately intensively used and partly fallow meadows and pastures. On the steep slopes, mixed forests with beech and pine trees and calcareous grassland alternate with poor pastures. Dense sloe bushes and hedges also serve as nesting habitats for birds. Ferns can be found on the shady sides of rocks. The open slopes with the calcareous grassland are important habitats for butterflies and insects.

Super fast descent! Watch out for oncoming traffic!

Gorge carved deep into the Jura. The water carries a lot of dissolved lime, which settles on moss and plants and results in the formation of tufa. "Stone gutters" found elsewhere are also created in this way.
