The bike path from Ranna to Pegnitz is wonderful. Initially slightly wavy over the corridors, then past an idyllic lake and then as a visual highlight the "Big Hole Stone".

August 25, 2025,Fahrradtour von Michelfeld über Pegnitz und Neuhaus a.d.P nach Auerbach

In perfect cycling weather, we completed a tri-city bike tour, visiting many sights and admiring a few curiosities. But even more so, we were amazed by the monumental rock formations, which nature had created over millions of years and which we also had to traverse. In comparison, the creations of humans seem truly small—but also somehow beautiful.
