Very nice hiking trail that meanders through the forest on a kind of ridge and always offers beautiful views towards Neuhaus.

Hainkirche Cave

Highlight • Cave

Tucked away and a little out of the way, but worth the climb. In connection with the Petershöhle it is a real cave tour.

Very nice view of the idyllic valley with a typical Franconian village. Idyllic! The summit cross is a nice photo opportunity.

Well, the route and nature are nothing special for the northern Frankenjura. I would not have created a HL (section) for this.
