An impressive hike that took me through the volcanic past of this beautiful region in windy weather today.



The Schlossberg with the Waldeck ruins marks the beginning of the basalt cones to be climbed. Even though I am already familiar with the site, I was once again very impressed, both by the masonry

On familiar paths through the forest and meadow landscape between Waller, Schupf and Hinterhaslach.

After a long time, there were technical problems again today, and shortly after the start of the tour, the recording was interrupted and only noticed by me late.



Nevertheless, it was a very nice hike and well marked as a loop trail. Wonderful paths lead around Pappenheim and, especially from the so-called

Today I finally headed to Eichstätt itself and onto Panorama Trail number 7.



A fantastic hike! The university town alone, with its over 1000-year history and the Willibaldsburg castle perched above it, is worth a visit.

The tour started near the train station and led me out of town. A detour along the Stations of the Cross to the Calvary Chapel and the Plentl Cross was a must. The latter viewpoint

Today I went again in the direction of Schwandorf on a tour between nature and church history, from the book "Erlebnis Wandern - Schwandorf & Umgebung" by Georg Luft. The tour starts just before Neukirchen in the forest, through which it then continues directly to Neukirchen. The St. Anna Chapel is the

On a beautiful day, I was drawn once again to the Pegnitz Valley to visit Veldenstein Castle near Neuhaus an der Pegnitz.



I started my hike from Velden, which led me along the Pegnitz River, past ducks, before out of the valley, past impressive rock formations like the "Velden Tower." Beautiful views
