Dogger Sandstone Formation by the Trail

Highlight • Natural Monument

You always have to wonder how the trees can hold themselves on the rocks 👍

Between Entenberg and Egensbach you can get over the Entenbergpass. With the slope and the switchbacks to the highest point, there is a real sense of fit. Many (racing) cyclists take the pass as a training route.

"Höhenweg in the Hammerbachtal"

Sporty rounds on the plateaus around the Hammerbachtal.

After a sporty and active week and sleepless nights for some time now, the battery was actually empty today. Tired , exhausted , back and the sofa called loudly .

August 31, 2025,🚲 Hammerbachtal 🌻☀️Höhenrunde 💙

Summer is once again showing its best side: lush sunshine and perfect conditions for a long bike ride.
Starting in Henfenfeld, the route begins with a steep climb through the shady forest.
Once at the top, take a break at the Edelweiss Hut with a cool wheat beer.
The route continues to Kingenhof, where a 400-year-old oak tree stands. A …

Nice round that is great to bike even in wet conditions. I always stayed on the high trail, which offers very varied views.
The highlight was of course the old oaks, a huge number of walnut trees and finally the view from the tower‼️
The view stretched from the Steigerwald over the Fränggische up to the Fichtelgebirge and Steinwald. The …

April 18, 2022,Henfenfeld - Höhenweg Hammerbachtal (Nonnenberg, Buchenberg, Entenberg, Deckersberg, Rechenberg), kleiner und großer Hansgörgel, Reichenschwand

After I had often come across the red symbol of the Hammerbachtaler Höhenweg on bike tours and hikes, I wanted to ride it completely. It is easy to ride at high altitude and the climbs can also be mastered with electricity. However, the gravel and road portion was clearly too high for us. That's why I've slightly modified the tour …

April 18, 2022,Henfenfeld - Höhenweg Hammerbachtal (Nonnenberg, Buchenberg, Entenberg, Deckersberg, Rechenberg), kleiner und großer Hansgörgel, Reichenschwand

In the first part of the round we followed the red bicycle symbol of the Hammerbachtaler Höhenweg. It is easy to ride at high altitude and the climbs can also be mastered with electricity. However, the gravel and road portion was clearly too high for us. That's why I've slightly modified the tour from Deckersberg, but without skipping the Edelweißhütte. …

After a relatively long deliberation, I've now upgraded to a 30-tooth chainring on the front to make climbing hills a little easier. The plan worked, and of course, it had to be purple. 👌🏼
