St. Michael Parish Church (Stadtsteinach)

Highlight • Religious Site

The hiking trail begins in Stadtsteinach at the parish church “St. Michael". This church was completely rebuilt in the years 1904-1905 after the fire disaster of 1903. The stately Neurococo church stands on the highest point of the city hill. The 56 m high west tower as the city's landmark can be seen from afar. Above the main portal in red sandstone, the Archangel Michael fighting the dragon. To the right of the entrance is a representation of the Mount of Olives from 1772/74.

Deckenreuther Wand Climb

Highlight • Climb

Hardly any cars, but a very narrow road
Tar is good (Sept 2024)
The very steep section is in the lower part, is about 150 m long and runs through the forest. There is no shame in getting off and pushing here if you have the wrong gear ratio.

View of Altenreuth

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful wide view over the southern edge of the Franconian Forest. Due to the quality of the road, the road towards Wallenfels is more suitable for an ascent, which is also the much sportier one with an average gradient of approx. 9% over 2.5 km. On the descent through Wartenfels you should drive very carefully when passing through the town. The section is steep, narrows and has confusing turns.

Protestant Trinity Church, Presseck

Highlight • Religious Site

The church is a former fortified church, built in 1513 using sections of 13th-century wall. The oldest frescoes date from 1512 and 1517.
In 1648, after the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War, the church was decorated with magnificent ceiling paintings. After the Second World War, the frescoes were uncovered, creating the church's current appearance.

A superb side road on the edge of the Franconian Forest, perfect for cycling, a wonderful stretch of road bike trail for e-bikes and especially for road bikes. Definitely worth a ride if you're on the edge of the Franconian Forest, north of Guttenberg, near the Kupferberg-Tannenwirtshaus.

The three-nave hall church was originally built around 1300 as the Church of Our Lady.
Its patron saint, St. Vitus, is considered the patron of miners – fitting for the city's great mining history. Inside, the intricate net vaulting, a late Gothic statue of Our Lady on the high altar, and a rare tabernacle from the founding period are fascinating.
