View of the Leinleiter Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the lookout point "View with rotten bench" a few meters further you definitely have the better view. The rotten bank was probably replaced by a new one 😉

May 29, 2023,Runde durch das Leinleitertal

With friends from Bielefeld in perfect Whitsun weather 🌞 did a lap over the Leinleitertal. I think it will definitely not be the last time you visit Franconian Switzerland... 😄

April 6, 2023,Aussicht auf das Leinleitertal – Leinleiter-Quelle Runde von Heiligenstadt i.OFr.

A magical hike, especially at Easter time. The villages in the area outdo each other with their decorated Easter fountains. First the path goes above the valley with some beautiful vantage points and then into the idyllic Leinleitertal. The source of the stream bubbles up quite strongly, especially on previous rainy days. Therefore, the necessary creek crossings were difficult today, …

Wonderful atmosphere in the dry valley. Later in the year, a shepherd is said to be out and about with his flock. On the meadows in the dry valley you can take a wonderful break. The brewery restaurant is not to be scoffed at either.

Two interesting educational trails - the forest educational trail, as well as a geological educational trail combine this varied, quiet hike in the upper Leinleitertal (ROTHER)

Marked continuously from Heiligenstadt with a green circle, Burggrub/Trockental also with a yellow dash and MD sign.

September 5, 2021,...unterwegs im Leinleitertal

Nice tour starting in Heiligenstadt / Upper Franconia in an autumn morning with the fog moving away. We were on the Frankenweg, Brauereienweg and Panoramaweg, and in the end also on the Main-Donau-Weg.
The Leinleitertal has a bit of that alpine feeling.

The entire tour can be described as very varied in terms of landscape.

First it goes uphill from the starting point over fields with a view of the Greifenstein Castle. In the first half of the tour, the castle will draw attention to itself from time to time.

May 17, 2022,Von Hohenpöls aus, Blick aufs Leinleitertal mit Kreuzstein

I did this hike today from Hohenpöls. Were 60 km from home, I think you can still do that. The weather was also fine, the sun was shining but the wind resisted a bit, so it wasn't that bad. Nice tour 👍👍👍👍

October 13, 2024,Zoggendorf - Heroldsstein

Start at the car park in Zoggendorf. Partly marked with a "yellow horizontal line" and a "green ring". There is a lot of asphalt, especially at the beginning, and from about halfway along the path there is also forest floor. Those who dare to make one or two detours will be rewarded with lovely discoveries such as the Söldenhaus, originally …
