Path Along the Vils

Highlight • Trail

The old railway embankment from Haselmühl to Schmidmühlen is still quite underestimated. Amberg-Schmidmühlen can be connected quickly and easily.

Armin and Sylvia were out and about in Upper Palatinate this Easter and did a lovely tour around the Hirschwald Nature Park, which included a large portion of the route along former railway lines. I immediately grabbed the tour, and it was a perfect fit today. Many thanks to @Armin for the excellent planning.
