A very beautiful new trail through the idyllic and stunning Dobertal valley. For a very long time, all you hear is the sound of rushing water and birdsong!

Another one of the new Steigla trails completed. (31)
I started in Tschirna, but you could also park at the Effelter Mill and start from there. As far as I could see, there isn't an official starting point yet...
The Steigla trail runs almost exclusively on forest paths and trails, and only briefly crosses the road through Effelter. You can …

⚠️Attention! The Steigla is impassable in places until further notice due to construction and forestry work. Rubber boots are also required for some sections of the path! ⚠️

The FrankenwaldSteigla Dobertal path takes us into two of the most untouched valleys in the Franconian Forest. The Dober and Grümpel streams babble gently there, villages and roads are far away.

After dropping my wife off at a friend's place in Tschirn this morning, I continue to the neighboring village of Effelter for today's hike.

At the church is my starting point for the hike " Felsla‑Kreuz (Effelter) Runde von Landkreis Kronach". Leaving the village, it goes towards the Felsla Kreuz. It continues downhill into the Grümpeltal.
I notice that all …

This is a Frankenwald Steigla. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it is not yet finished. In places the markings are missing and some parts of the path are almost impossible or very difficult to walk. Once finished, it will definitely be a very beautiful hiking trail.

Why does the weather mostly have to be bad this year whenever I want to go hiking? Admittedly, it wasn't always like this; preferably on tours with the club, the weather itself was quite good. But this year it has already literally ruined a few tours for me, and today I was very close to staying home.

Luckily I didn't!

A nice round. Thank you @Söhni 🏃 for introducing us. We started in the south at the hiking car park I know. Unfortunately, from Tschirn onwards, forestry work has made the route more difficult. The Dober can only be crossed over two wooden posts and after that the ground is rather swampy. I recommend taking the slightly elevated forest path …
