This small private forest lake lies in the large Koserbachtal and is an oasis of peace. There is nothing to hear except birdsong here. A gem in the beautiful forest landscape of the Franconian Forest.

The pilgrimage basilica Marienweiher is one of the oldest pilgrimage churches in Germany.

Every year around 5,000 people from all over Franconia and parts of the Upper Palatinate make a pilgrimage to the small town of Marienweiher in the Franconian Forest.

A quiet and contemplative round without major highlights, true to the motto of this Steigla's "hear silence". The nature of the path is varied and there are no major inclines to be mastered.

Today we went on a very nice circular hike. The paths were very varied, we went past streams, through the forest, past small lakes, there were always beautiful views of the landscape along the way and the weather cooperated quite well. Only in the afternoon did the sun retreat. Right at the beginning we visited the beautiful pilgrimage church in …

In the best weather ☀️ hiked another Steigla〽️. Pretty much at the beginning at the Zechteich 🏞 there are many signs about the 🌳🌿, 🐟 and 🪱 that can be found there. The Steigla is easy to walk and only goes briefly through villages. In Hermes there is an inn/cafe that apparently has very tasty 🍰. In any case, I …

Out and about in the Franconian Forest near Marktleugast on the Franconian Forest Steigla (Silent Hearing) Achatzmühlen-Weg. Lots of nature and some beautiful forest paths. Nice to switch off and recharge your batteries

A really nice and relaxing round.
Although you're looking for the Steigla on this Frankenwaldsteigla 😉🤷🏻, you'll be totally more excited from the start...

"Silent listening" - we could have, but unfortunately babbled too much😊. The Frankenwaldsteigla "Achatzmühlenweg" is a beautiful forest and meadow hike. We started in Marienweiher and continued over the Zechteich to the Kemnather Kreuz (1836). The hiking trail leads very idyllically through the valley of the Großer Koserbach, past the broken-off Schmitts-Kreuz to Mordsgraben☠. In the desert the sun came …
