A very nice round in the slate area through the Franconian Forest and its meadows from Langenbach. Also well suited for a MTB tour.

Unfortunately Komoot cannot assign the pictures despite GPS. Therefore they are simply inserted somewhere in a confused way. But with the amount of pictures, I just can't position them all.

May 8, 2025,Langesbühl – „Die Zwölf Apostel"-Steine Runde von Dürrenwaiderhammer

The forest here in Franconia also has its problems, and it's sad until it has even grown back. The route is well signposted, but at the end everything is different due to forestry work. It wasn't that easy using …

There are some nice vantage points …
