With a little luck you can watch the wild horses or the beautiful peacock goats. In addition, the sandy paths around the enclosure (cycling prohibited) are lovely.

October 29, 2025,🍂🐎⚠️ Goldener Herbst, Wildpferde und stille Warnungen – unterwegs im Tennenloher Forst bei Erlangen
It's another busy week for me 🚗💼 – Wiesbaden on Tuesday, Nuremberg yesterday, and Frankfurt today 🏙️.

At least yesterday, after my appointment, I managed to get out and enjoy nature 🌿🍂. I'd planned the route in advance 🗺️.

The trail through the Tennenlohe Forest 🌲 starts from the parking lot at Turmberg 🅿️. Soon, the path leads past the …

Today we wanted to defy the rain and look for the Mongolian horses near Tennenlohe. You actually have to look for it, but it's worth it. We couldn't stop watching them. The path was sometimes very beautiful - narrow sandy paths through the forest along the fence or along the moor lakes. The purple of the heather shone wonderfully. But …
