A pretty sweaty hike in Franconian Switzerland – comparable to cycling in a sauna.

But it had to be done, especially if you're camping in Tüchersfeld.

Aside from the brutal heat, it was a varied and enjoyable hike with many glimpses into amazing caves on and off the trail, as well as wonderful paths.

Caves in Franconian Switzerland again today 😃 Started this morning in the rain 🌧️ around Nuremberg. Arrived in Tüchersfeld - blue skies 🌌 👍. Starting point: hiking car park above the town. Through the town, along the Püttlach river, which also formed the imposing rock castle in the town, further over Kohlstein up to the heights. Via Hungenberg, Unterailsfeld, Oberailsfeld …

... after we had already explored the great landscape yesterday, today our castle and cave tour was on the agenda. ... it felt like we only walked up or down stairs today. On today's tour we were lucky that the paths (as much of it was natural) were not too muddy and were still quite easy to walk on... except …

Hallejulia, that was another tour today 😍 Although it was really hot, I wanted to see some of the beautiful landscapes.
I just don't feel like staying "at home" on vacation 🤷
But it was very strenuous, because the route ran a lot in the blazing sun.
But with the magic cloth and a cap it went well.
I also …

Set off from Tüchersfeld, still wondering whether it would be better to take gloves with me, it was bitterly cold. But in the sun on the plateau behind Kohlfeld it was more like: put on your jacket. In the sun it was always several degrees warmer than in the shade, you can see very clearly from the frost in the …

April 27, 2024,Von Tüchersfeld zur Sophienhöhle

The tour starts in Tüchersfelfeld with its half-timbered houses and rocks that are well worth seeing. The highlight of the tour is the idyllic path that winds through the romantic Ailsbach valley. Rabenstein Castle accompanies hikers from constantly new perspectives. A visit to the Sophienhöhle with its wonderful stalactite halls is recommended. From the huge Ludwigshöhle you can get a …
