Narrow forest trail in the Naab Valley

Highlight • Trail

You are hiking here on a beautiful and picturesque forest path through the Naabrangen natural forest reserve. The beech and mixed forests are repeatedly interspersed with bizarre rocks - very atmospheric when the fog comes up in autumn.

Highlight • Viewpoint

The place is unfortunately only accessible on foot as it is quite off the beaten path! Nevertheless, the visibility is excellent when the weather is good and the spot is perfect for a rest!

April 26, 2023,Duggendorf-Pielenhofen, Naabhänge

This time it worked again with …

August 6, 2025,Auf dem Jurasteig von Duggendorf nach Pielenhofen und zurück

In cool temperatures, we set off from Duggendorf, on the left bank of the Naab, onto the Jurasteig trail. The magnificent path leads tunnel-like through the beech forest, past rock formations – and every now and then, you can even see the Naab flowing towards Pielenhofen.

Beautiful Jurasteig circular hike from Duggendorf to Pielenhofen. Most of the time you hike on beautiful trails and paths above the Naab. A certain degree of surefootedness is required in some places, because right next to the partly narrow paths with many roots and stones, it goes down very steeply in places.
