Hiking

The Steigerwald circuit “Three Forests Path” invites you to a varied landscape with breathtaking views.

The circular hike has a length of approx. 15 km and is well suited as a full-day excursion. It mostly runs on natural paths of three forest owners, the forest of the Bavarian State Forests, the Gerolzhofen-Dingolshausen civic forest and the Oberschwarzach community forest. It leads from Geusfeld over the treetop path in Ebrach, past the Steigerwald center in Handthal and back again. There are numerous historical highlights along the way, whose stories you can immerse yourself in. The Dreiherrnbrunnen, near Ebrach, forms the oasis of the circular route and invites you to linger. At the exchange bank you can find out more about the Cistercians. The Steigerwald treetop path gives you a view of the treetops. The connecting path from the treetop path towards Handthal informs you about the special features of the bats. The Magdalene Cross offers an impressive view of Handthal and the Stone Cross leads you into the realm of legends.

There are refreshment stops in Geusfeld, Ebrach and Handthal. Visits to the treetop path and the Steigerwald Center are possible on this path. Please note the opening times at: www.baumwipfelpfadsteigerwald.de and www.steigerwald-zentrum.de.

A very nice hike started for me today in Geusfeld (Hasberge district). It's very densely wooded and therefore highly recommended on hotter days than today. Today I was lucky enough to complete this hike in light drizzle, which kept me dry except for 300 meters from the car. 👍👍👍. What I really liked was the half-full crate of Radler that …
