Stone Cross at the Edge of Hallershof

Highlight • Monument

Very nice stone cross on the bike path from Hallersdorf to Engelthal. The cross is only for decoration, it is not an atonement cross or has a similar background. Still very nice. It was set up by a local.

Old Monastery Wall of Engethal

Highlight • Historical Site

The Engelthal monastery wall is special because it was not customary to enclose monasteries by walls when the monastery was built. Some parts of this almost 1,100 meter long wall and two gates are still preserved. pages.et4.de/de/nuernberger-land/streaming/detail/POI/p_100049731/klostermauer-engelthal

January 10, 2024,Hersbrucker Alb: Rundwanderweg 8 ab Engelthal

Today after work I took a detour to Engelthal to enjoy the beautiful weather in the Hammerbachtal.

The circular hiking trail 8 took me through the Engelthaler Forest up to the Steinerne Rinne and with beautiful valley views back to Engelthal, where I went back to the starting point along the former monastery wall.
