Ankatalwand and Ankatalturm — climbing crags

Highlight • Climb

The Anka Valley is a forested corridor bordered on both sides by impressive rocks. The hiking trail meanders through dense nature in a varied way and is never boring.

Impressive rocks and narrow paths. You have to enjoy that.

Beautiful and quiet place, great for a rest and/or as a highlight for children. A flashlight is not absolutely necessary. But be careful: the upper corridor ends directly in the upper part of the dome!

Griesmühle Hamlet

Highlight • Historical Site

The Griesmühle is a now-restored monument ensemble directly on the cycling and hiking path. It has a history of over a thousand years. Not far away, the Harnbach plunges over a tufa step – a small, enchanted waterfall.

Hiking trail along the Pegnitz

Highlight • Trail

Between the Harnbacher Mühle and Rupprechtstegen, the hiking trail leads very close to the Pegnitz. Wonderfully picturesque, with the green meadows and the shady forests on the shore.
