The highest point in the Nuremberg region, so you also have a beautiful view here. Visiting the castle requires some off-road mobility, but is highly recommended.

April 26, 2026,Vom Schlossberg zum Windbeutelcafé 😋😋 und Burg Hohenstein

...so that I can join the conversation too: The destination of our short Sunday tour - the Windbeutelcafè in Hohenstein 😂!

Start at Schlossberg in Osternohe … great paths through forests and over green, blooming fields … after refueling, we took a detour via Burg Hohenstein … always great views of the Franconian countryside

Going on a short hike after being confined to bed for a few days due to illness. It was a relaxed tour in the snow. It started from the Schlossberg and went up to the ruins with a view of the Schlossberg. Then the Tuchersteig followed up to Hohenstein Castle. Enjoying the view at the top in the sleet. Then …

This time we did this beautiful, varied tour in the cold season. However, with a cloudless sky and spring sunshine. We started in Götzlesberg and first came through the lovely village of Frohnhof. Here you can discover small "works of art" along the way and in gardens. Always with a view of Hohenstein Castle, we continued on varied paths. After …

A short loop from Schlossberg. We skipped Hohenstein in favor of Windburg (since you're already passing one of the Seven Summits). The trail up is now signposted and easily doable. Along the way, you'll repeatedly encounter the Tree Pictures Trail. The Bolzenstein is impressive, but the route we chose wasn't necessary; it's better to return to the trail.

Have fun on the beautiful, easy and appealing hike. Discover the great pictures on the tree picture path and in between there are always beautiful rock formations and sections of the path. Good walking😃

September 3, 2021,Von Schloßberg nach Steinensittenbach

The last holiday hike is rather unspectacular. Above all, there is a lot of nature in the forest and in the fields and meadows. It goes up and down all the time.
The start is on a hiking car park in the Schnaittach district of Schloßberg. From there it goes east. The limestone formations that are so typical of the …
