Hiking

This tour takes you to the promising summit of the Windburg near Ostenohe. A fairly relaxed hike awaits you, which does not place any great physical demands on you. The hike also offers you the opportunity to stop off at the Igelwirt in Schloßberg and enjoy the great view from the terrace.

You can get to the starting point of the hike by taking the train to Schnaittach train station and then taking the 342 bus to Ostenohe. First you cross the drag lift, which takes skiers up the slope in the winter months and mountain bikers in the summer. Then it goes alternately through forests and over meadows and fields up to Windburg. The last stretch up to the summit requires surefootedness and concentration. You will be rewarded with a beautiful view of the vastness of the landscape. Then it goes back in the direction ofosterohe. Shortly before you reach the starting point at the hiking car park, there is a bench on the left of the path with a wonderful view, which is great for a final rest.

Igelwirt – Hotel & Restaurant with panoramic views

Highlight • Restaurant

Great rest stop, good food at fair prices and all garnished with a wonderful view. Here you will find traditional cuisine prepared with a lot of love. The beautiful mountain inn with hotel is the top address to end your tour, e.g. the tree picture path, and to end it comfortably.

Windburg Summit

Highlight • Summit

A detour to the Windburg rock massif is worthwhile. Great view, you should be a little sure-footed, it's quite a climb.

April 12, 2025,Hersbrucker Alb 🌲Osternohe - Windburg 613m (SevenSummits) 😎🏃
A short loop above Osternohe. The highlight is, of course, the "Windburg," one of the Seven Summits in the Nuremberg region, and the beautiful view from the "Schlossberg Ruins." Be sure to pay attention when crossing the bike park 🚵‍♀️🚵‍♂️🚵‍♂️

The second of today's peaks was the Windburg near Ostenohe.

In contrast to the first tour, this one was a little more comfortable. Fewer meters in altitude and always high areas with beautiful views made it very pleasant to walk overall.

Beautiful Easter walk on the Schloßberg Osternohe... Incl. bike park and Easter bunny

...unfortunately only half recorded... But the rest at the Igelwirt was good!
