Schönblick viewpoint over the Wiesent Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

A beautiful view over the Wiesenttal from a rock. A railing protects against falling and a bank invites you to linger.

The Felsentor is as the name implies a natural gate between two mighty rocks above Streitberg. Many hiking trails lead through or past here; so also the Frankenweg, a long-distance hiking trail, which crosses all Franconia, including the Franconian Switzerland.

June 21, 2025,Burgruine und Grotte Neideck und Hummerstein

Today I visited the Neideck Castle ruins, which immediately catch your eye as you drive past... More by chance, I also went up to the Neideck Grotto, which was so worth it! Absolutely worth seeing! Then I went down to Streitberg and back up to Streitberg Castle. I was briefly in jail there...🤭
The path continues to the Prince Rupert …

September 20, 2025,Gasseldorf, Binghöhle Streitberg, Neideck😊

A beautiful, varied trail.😊 From Gasseldorf, the trail climbs to the Hummerstein (with a magnificent view of the Wiesenttal Valley). The trail then leads to the Schönblick and through impressive rock arches to the Binghöhle cave. Pass through there (worth it!, but you can also bypass it). The descent to Streitberg follows, with travertine terraces along the trail. Neideck Castle …

April 30, 2023,Tropfsteine und Burgruinen rund um Ebermannstadt

Today I went hiking in Franconian Switzerland.
The tour has a lot to offer, old castle ruins, narrow paths from which it goes straight down.
Especially the 300 m long Bing cave is worth a visit.

May 30, 2025,Fränkische Schweiz Runde von Gasseldorf, Hummerberg, Felsentor, Binghöhle, Streitburg u. Burg Neidek

From the Hummerstein to the Binghöhle cave via Streitburg to Neidek Castle. A tour full of highlights and, in the truest sense of the word, full of ups and downs. Unfortunately, there are no good restaurants along the route except for the Binghöhle cave. Ice cream and cold drinks are recommended. So, bring plenty of food and sturdy shoes. The …

What an incredibly beautiful tour... The highlight: the Bing Cave with its beautiful stalactites. A real insider tip! You can explore the cave yourself for a €7.50 entrance fee, and an extra €1 is charged for photos. But the cave is worth it. It's 300 meters long; we were in there for almost an hour. And there's so much to …
