Schlupfloch Rock Passage

Highlight • Natural Monument

Here the path to the small hollow hole goes through a small opening in the rock. Strolling through is worth it.

Rest Area at Schwammerl Rock Formation

Oh, that's what porcini look like 🤣👌, a beautiful place in the rock with a sufficient rest area, and the long bench.
A view of the mushroom from above is also possible.

A few geocaches lay parallel to the forest trail in Velburg. In the hope that the paths would be reasonably dry, I reached the hiking car park first and......

December 27, 2025,Rund um Velburg

From Velburg to Hohllochberg, admire the Hohlloch cave. We lost the path in the woods later on and found it again 😁.

Up past the rock window to the "Schwammerl" rock formation.

The return journey took us past the Velburg castle ruins and through the village of Velburg.

A super varied hike with many highlights like the loophole, the small and large hollow holes. The rocky arena near the shark, and earlier we spotted the meerkat. Mushrooms and the stair climb. Thanks Andrea for this great hike.
