The rails have now been dismantled and the trains have been replaced by buses from Neustadt station to Uehlfeld and back. Today, the Aisch Valley Cycle Path runs along parts of the old route.

Pfalzbach Gorge
Highlight (Segment) • Gorge
The Pfalzbach Gorge is located just outside Neustadt an der Aisch. A 7.5 kilometer circular route (marking N3) leads from the fairground over the site of the former Franconian royal court Riedfeld into the middle of untouched nature. After the residential development, the Pfalzbach circular route plunges into a landscape in which nature is largely left to its own devices. First of all, the path runs through a narrow valley cut through the soft clay deposits of the Lehrberg strata. Partially equipped with stepping stones, the path climbs gently, then becomes steeper, up to the plateau of the sandstone. From here you can enjoy the wide view over the Aish valley and the foothills of the Frankenhöhe. On the paved road to the right, the café at the airport invites you to take a break with coffee and cake on Sundays and public holidays.
It goes back through old orchards into the Pfalzbach gorge to the "Rote Marter",

Comments
The Pfalzbach Gorge is right on the outskirts of town.
It is certainly twice as beautiful in spring or summer when everything is green and blooming.
