Cave in Naturpark Fränkische Schweiz - Frankenjura

Highlight • Cave

It's relatively steep from below. However, a rope is attached to make it easier to get up. But it is also possible to get to the cave from above.

April 19, 2025,Michelfeld ☁️ den Flemmbach hinauf ⛅️ den Speckbach hinunter ☀️

Today, on Holy Saturday, we went for a leisurely walk from Michelfeld 😄

The tour took us along mostly natural hiking trails through a beautiful, spring-like, ancient cultural landscape, alternating between fields, meadows, small woods, and field margins. So there was always something to see, making the hike varied and entertaining 😎

March 2, 2025,Rund um Michelfeld

On Sunday we went on a circular hike around Michelfeld. We went over the Kammerberg to Staubershammer, then always along the Flemmbach stream towards Steinamwasser. On the way we made a detour to the Bergstüberlhöhle, then passed the Flembachhütte, which is unfortunately still closed. We kept passing striking rocks and beautiful chapels. In Steinamwasser we then made our way back …

May 10, 2025,Von Michelfeld nach Steinamwasser

A very beautiful tour, although it initially leads along fields, but is varied with lots of hedges, hilly and fragmented. The straight section along a small road (there wasn't a single vehicle by) had a different fruit tree every few metres: some were old, some were freshly planted and people were allowed to pick them. In Steinamwasser a very elderly …

November 24, 2024,Auerbach: Übers Felsländl ins Flembachtal

Although it is one of my favorite tours at home, I haven't done this one for a long time. I had always hoped that I could combine it with a stop in Stein am Wasser again.
But now it is a sad fact that neither of the inns serves lunch on Sundays. What a pity🥲
The path is still very …

January 21, 2023,Höhlenzauber und einsame Täler Runde um Michelfeld

Ordered a new hiking book yesterday and made the first hike out of it today. This time an easy to walk tour with little altitude. The highlight is certainly the cave with no name in Steinamwasser. Unfortunately, I forgot my headlamp and had to make do with my cell phone flashlight.
A film has even been shot here (the five …

July 9, 2023,Höhlenzauber und einsame Täler bei Michelfeld

Hiking excursion of the SCR Schnaittach. Because of the announced 35 degrees, we started an hour earlier from Steinamwasser. The first highlight was the Felslindl cave with a large cave portal. Shortly before Michelfeld we visited the Guggerloch rock and the overlying Guggerloch. We found a shady resting place in the monastery garden. A quick look at the monastery church …

Last year I went on a similar challenge in www. caught on. How can I implement it for myself? Always go on a hike on the 12th day of the month with the same theme. Of course only with 12 rocky photos.
The start today is in Steinamwasser.... The name says it all for my rocky tour. I'm literally enchanted …
