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.

Leidingshofer Valley Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

Very photogenic formation as a hiking destination!

Descent to Mathelbach Spring and Hydraulic Ram

Highlight • Trail

The narrow, steep descent goes partly over roots and many stones. Because it is ALWAYS wet here, even in dry weather, the stones are very slippery! But it is worth it and is absolutely recommended! Gigantic rock formations.

Leidingshofer Valley

Highlight • Gorge

Rock canyon, the ram, a pump that drives itself, lush greenery and beautiful views. Often mushy after prolonged rain, but a nice and shady walk, especially when it's hot!

October 11, 2023,Veilbronn-Hummerstein- Streiberg und -burg- Leidingshofer Tal-Veilbronn

A strenuous tour with lots of ups and downs. Great panoramas and distant views.
On some sections of the route, good sure-footedness is absolutely necessary, especially in wet weather.

May 4, 2025,Hummerstein – Ruine Streitburg Runde von Veilbronn

The start and finish is the hiking car park in Veilbronn.

Beautiful views of Streitburg and Neideck. The trail passes the Binghöle cave and sinter terraces. The climb is steep in places, so a certain degree of surefootedness is also recommended.

Veilbronn has a well-known wellness hotel (Sponsel-Regus), which is highly recommended for wellness enthusiasts.

The tour is well suited for hot summer days, as about 90% of the tour runs in the forest. I took a guided tour through the Bing cave to cool down and also cooled my feet in various small streams (Kneipp says hello)
