November 28, 2025,Amberg-Sulzbach: Hirschauer Turmweg
Today I embarked on another scenic circular hike in the Amberg-Sulzbach region.

Starting in Hirschau, my destination was the Rödlasturm tower. A mix of forest, meadows, and ponds, offering magnificent views along the way, led me via Ehenfeld to the imposing observation tower.

Didn't meet a hiker today on Whit Monday. Are they all in Franconian? 😉

My tour took me partly over the Hirschauer Turmweg, which probably got its name from the only tower, the Rödlas lookout tower. Otherwise, I chose my own paths, some of which were not on hiking trails: forest paths. Now and then, unfortunately almost overgrown.🍀🌳🌲🍀
