Panoramic View of the Frankenwald

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here, very close to the Pfaffenberg summit, the view sweeps far into the country on a clear day. Staffelberg and Banz Monastery can be seen as silhouettes on the horizon, even when visibility is poor.

HEAR THE SILENCE - water gurgles, murmurs, splashes. Don't just hike with your eyes wide open, but also listen carefully - as a Protestant pastor once did.

Hearing silence - where does the gentle buzzing of forest bees come from? Where is the deer that cracked the branch softly? Hear the sound of silence, enjoy the tranquility! Hiking in the …

Starting point: Rothenkirchen sports field, Heinersbachweg, 96332 Pressig.
Starting in the Haßlachtal valley, we hike through quiet forests to experience the vastness of the Franconian Forest on top of Pfaffenberg and the hills around Marienroth. This short hike requires little effort and yet showcases all the facets of the Franconian Forest.
