Beech Forest Trail (P 53) – Naturpark Fränkische Schweiz - Frankenjura

Highlight • Forest

There is a great downhill bike route here. With the drag lift up and a starkly laid out bike facility. Even if you don't drive it yourself, watching is really fun and totally exciting.

Everywhere along the hiking trail you can discover and marvel at very beautiful rock formations. The rock massif Windburg, which can also be climbed, is particularly impressive.

April 12, 2025,Hersbrucker Alb 🌲Osternohe - Windburg 613m (SevenSummits) 😎🏃

A short loop above Osternohe. The highlight is, of course, the "Windburg," one of the Seven Summits in the Nuremberg region, and the beautiful view from the "Schlossberg Ruins." Be sure to pay attention when crossing the bike park 🚵‍♀️🚵‍♂️🚵‍♂️

The second of today's peaks was the Windburg near Ostenohe.

In contrast to the first tour, this one was a little more comfortable. Fewer meters in altitude and always high areas with beautiful views made it very pleasant to walk overall.
