Wild Garlic Valley in Böhlbachgrund, Steigerwald Nature Park

Highlight • Forest

The lush green and the hearty smell of wild garlic accompanies you. Beware of mix-ups or carelessness, I also discovered arum leaves between the wild garlic.
We only plucked a few handpicked leaves, it was delicious.

Upper Entrance to Schlangenweg

Highlight • Trail

The Schlangenweg hike is certainly one of the most scenic forest hikes in the Steigerwald. A beautiful, narrow and "winding" path leads us uphill through the ravine forests in the Nordsteigerwald near Zell am Ebersberg.
Here is the upper entrance.

Schlangenweg Trail in Naturpark Steigerwald

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This path meanders very romantically over a few kilometers through the beech forest along the many deep valley cuts. Very muddy in wet weather.

One of the most beautiful tours around here. Really recommended.

April 17, 2023,Schlangenrunde von Zell am Ebersberg

After a short, steep ascent from Zell am Ebersberg, a wonderful hike through a wide variety of forest areas. If you like wild garlic, you will find plenty here. (see photos) The actual snake path begins at about km 7.5 and is difficult to walk on in wet weather and requires absolute surefootedness. Bikers and hikers share the path. I …

The snake path is really a great path. Very natural but still easy to walk. This path is only very difficult if it has rained before. If the weather is dry, this trail is a MUST for every hiker. Sturdy shoes are highly recommended.

February 18, 2023,Schlangenweg Zell am Ebersberg im Steigerwald

Weekend in my Franconian homeland part 1:
It started in Zell am Ebersberg at the church and then directly to the Schlangenweg on the Franconian Marienweg. On the meandering path along the gorges I was - admittedly - a little queasy today because of the trees lying across and the trees swaying and creaking due to the gusts of wind. …

February 18, 2023,Schlangenweg/Keltenweg bei Zell/Steigerwald

On the way to Bamberg we made a stopover in the Steigerwald and hiked the snake path and parts of the Keltenweg near Zell. The official description promised a lot, I wasn't really convinced. A nice hike on expected muddy paths and fallen trees. The creaking trees, which moved more or less strongly with the wind, were a bit scary. …
