We begin our hike at the listed Effelter Mill in the Dobertal, a typical Franconian Forest meadow valley. Extensively mown and not fertilized for centuries, species-rich meadows developed that still characterize the valley floors of the Franconian Forest today and display an astonishingly high level of biodiversity.

Kremnitz Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

Very idyllic stream valley with many fords and small footbridges over the Kremnitz.
The footbridges are quite slippery when wet! Wonderful surroundings for hiking.
Unfortunately, beetles/forestry have struck here too.

June 23, 2022,Auf Flößers Spuren im Dober- und Kremnitztal

We begin our hike at the listed Effelter Mühle in the Dobertal, a typical Franconian Forest meadow valley. Mowed extensively for centuries and not fertilized, species-rich meadows developed that still characterize the valley floor of the Franconian Forest and have an astonishingly high biodiversity. The shy black stork regularly goes in search of food here. But rafting also had a …

The Dober and Kremnitz valleys are a wonderful area for anyone who likes nature and peace and quiet. My hike started at the Effeltermühle. First, I walked along the mill ditch in the Dobertal. I walked upstream to the Mariengrotte and then turned back to cross a mountain along the Fronbauernweg and get into the Kremnitztal at the Finkenmühle. From …

The starting point of the varied circular hike through the Dober and Kremnitz valleys is the over 500-year-old Effelter Mill in the Dobertal. The building, which is now a listed building, was first mentioned in documents in 1507.
We start the tour and hike past the mill pond up the valley on a narrow path. We follow this north along …

Today we went back to the Dober and Kremnitztal valleys. The start was in Effeltermühle. Short detour to the mill and then along the mill ditch up a piece of the Dobertal. The path is quaint. Unfortunately, the silence is disturbed by logging work. A short time later you cross the Dober and at the next bridge you climb left …

Dear @Maria 🌻, thank you for running this beautiful tour ahead of us! We had to take a break after 1.6km because of a hunt, the path in the Kremnitz valley was very muddy. There are no real highlights on this tour, but the landscape is beautiful and absolutely worth the hike. It's a shame that so many trees in …
