My dog also found the path very nice and I was only just able to convince him not to go swimming in December.

The pond is idyllically situated. A bench invites you to take a little rest. The swing from an old skateboard😄 is also nice

The wasteland lies in the Aurach valley and was built in 1770/73. After a turbulent past, the secluded villa is now privately owned.

The riding stable is idyllically situated in the valley of the Aurach, beyond villages and large streets, surrounded by meadows and paddocks. Pension horses, school horses and ponies have been roaming the wonderful grounds for 30 years. Further information: https://www.reiterhofsteinhof.de/

There are all welcome, from motorcyclists on hikers and cyclists. Monday is rest day. For parents with children should be mentioned, that you can borrow a pony to go for an hour.
