It certainly took a long time to create such a monument. Hats off and if you deal with the story, it will certainly make you think about the past...

Hiking car park at Schlossberg

Highlight • Parking

The hiking car park on the Schlossberg offers the best possible starting point for the tour. From here it goes directly to the observation tower, the "Pegnitz - Tour" or the "Franconian Mountain Trail".

Voithöhle Cave

Highlight • Cave

Nice but flat cave. The cave is a long tube stretching horizontally into the mountain, it is mostly uncomfortable to crawl. The total length should be 100m.

Pegnitz Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

Small, well-formed karst spring below Schlossberg. Previously, the exit from the pot was so strong that the Zaußenmühle could be operated with it.

A really beautiful walk through the forest. Getting to know the animals. Pure nature... Unfortunately, not suitable for strollers.
