Ice cream at Hermersdorf Milk Station

Highlight • Cafe

The vanilla soft 🍦 is highly recommended as it is not that sweet. Optionally with 🍓 or chocolate sauce or without sauce for € 2 each. Coins are required!

Farm Shop With Regional Products (Vending Machine)

Highlight • Rest Area

This vending machine is, among other things, a huge motivation for us to hike the swing trail. We think the salami tastes amazing!

The circular route starts at a parking lot and all swing stations are included. If you were traveling with a stroller, everything was easy to navigate

Today a trip to the Central Franconian hinterland to Vestenbergsgreuth to hike along the swing path there 🥾

The path is good to hike with children because it is very entertaining. Through the individual stations 🚉 you always have a goal in mind 👀. The greatest distance between two stations is just under a kilometer.

Great circular route in Vestenbergsgreuth. At each station there are different swings that differ in size and shape. On a farm there is even a soft ice cream machine where you can treat yourself to an ice cream for 2€. In summer you can definitely spend the whole day here. There is also a summer toboggan run, a corn labyrinth …
