Picnic Area by the Lake in Naturpark Frankenhöhe

Highlight • Lake

A bit off the official bike path - but easy to reach, just keep going straight and a bit hidden. Great view and nice space for the break.

Hirschteich (Altmühl spring)

Highlight • Lake

Even the oldest maps show the area around the Burgbernheim deer pond as the origin of the Altmühl. In 1904 the Royal Bavarian Hydrotechnical Bureau in Munich decided that the drainage ditch of the Hornauer Weiher must be assumed as the origin of the Altmühl. Of the tributaries of the Hornauer Weiher, the spring at the Erlach settlement currently has the strongest water discharge and can therefore be regarded as the Altmühl spring. The Altmühl flows from here into the Danube and then further into the Black Sea.

Wildbad Historic Spa and Guesthouse

Highlight • Historical Site

The impressive and listed building ensemble of the Waldgasthof Wildbad looks back on a long tradition. The current building dates back to the 18th century, but due to the healing springs, people have been coming into the narrow valley for over 1,000 years.

Today, you can not only dine excellently here, but also spend the night and explore countless hiking trails in the peaceful nature.

Opening times can be found at waldgasthof-wildbad.de/index.htm.
