Forest Path Between Gelber Berg and Spielberg (Altmühltal Panorama Trail)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The panoramic path connects the Spielberg with the Yellow Mountain, two places with magnificent views. However, the path itself does not offer a panoramic view! It's just a beautiful, shady forest path.

January 16, 2026,Naturpark Altmühltal: Hahnenkamm

Today I headed in a different direction again, to the Altmühltal Nature Park on the border of the Ries Geopark. The stone channel near Wolfsbronn had been on my list for a while, so I set off in perfect weather.

March 22, 2026,Sonnige Frühlingswanderung mit @Lina 🐕‍🦺 & Steffi 🙋🏻‍♀️

Once again, Steffi and Lina showed me the most beautiful corners of their former home on an entertaining and amusing tour. Was - as usual - a great tour. It was a pleasure - always happy to do it again 😊

August 27, 2022,Altmühl PanoWeg Schlaufe 3 Start: Spielberg

A really great loop trail, the 3!! Forest sections that can develop "back" into the "jungle" state, 2 stone gullies. One of them up to 1 1/2m high!
The church and monastery in Heidenheim am Hahnenkamm is always worth a visit! And right at the start in Spielberg, a visit to the castle with its figurative works of art around …

March 9, 2024,Frühlingstour Hahnenkamm – Schloss Spielberg & Steinerne Rinnen 🐕‍🦺🥾

I had been planning the route for a long time and since Thomas thought 20 km was too long, Lina and I started alone today.
It was a very nice round with lots of sun and lots of nature.
I didn't know the small stone gully near Kurzenaltheim.
Next time I would start from Heidenheim. Then at the end you …

May 2, 2026,Frankenweg Treuchtlingen nach Heidenheim

But first, we both walk again. I, again, with a considerable lead. At 7 p.m. I look at the map again and realize that there are still about 4 km to the car. I could probably reach it by 8 p.m. to then drive to Treuchtlingen to load the bike. That way I would probably be back in Nuremberg by …

January 27, 2024,Entdeckertour bei Heidenheim, Steinerne Rinne - Gelber Berg - Spielberg - Kloster Heidenheim

Beautiful, promising hike on the Frankenweg and in sections on the Altmühlpanoramaweg. Worth seeing are the Steinerne Rinne, the Spielberg Palace/Castle and the monastery town of Heidenheim. The 360° panorama from the Hahnenkamm (Yellow Mountain), a foothill of the southern Franconian Alb between Altmühl and Nördlinger Ries is fantastic...
