April 16, 2024,Bayern (Oberfranken): OS 14 Eisvogel-Weg, Helmbrechts; 160424
From the series "Paths around Helmbrechts", today: OS 14, the "Kingfisher Trail".

frankenwald-tourismus.de/detail/id=6087f5270d7ea872058c7918

I walked this trail about nine years ago when I was allowed to take a photo series for the calendars published by the Höllensprudel company in Naila at the time. For the sake of completeness, I walked it again today, especially since one thing or another changes …

I happened to see the round on komoot. When running, it was noticed that it is the OS14, which made navigation no longer necessary because the route is well signposted. Varied paths, interesting highlights and a rather flat terrain characterize the round.

Take your time, there is a lot to discover! 🧌🦇🪨💎🐦🛫

Pleasant round in beautiful nature, lush flowering meadows.

Very well signposted with OS 14.

Nice little round with a few interesting points, but unfortunately many paved paths

From the Rehbachtal we went to Helmbrechts. I have been wanting to see the Zwerglaweg again for a long time. I haven't been there for a few years and I was amazed at the illustrious company that has gathered there. Some figures are really bizarre, some creatures even scary. But it is definitely interesting to have a look around.
After …
