The creative girls' club did a great job with the great ceiling painting. The pavilion with its design and of course the view - simply fantastic.

After a wonderful celebration yesterday in Wörth and an overnight stay there, we took the opportunity to go for a leisurely stroll here in Churfranken.
From the Erlenbacher swimming pool on the Franconian red wine trail to Klingenberg.

We come to the Seltenbach Gorge Trail along the Seltenbach, which is only 3km long but offers the hiking experience of the V-shaped valley.
In the gorge, the stream has exposed impressive red sandstone rocks. Fire salamanders are native here, but we were unable to spot any.

Today there was a tour with my friends on well-known paths to relax. Only we chose the Mainweg M in the Erlenbacher Weinberg on the way there, which runs one "floor" above the busy main route, which we took on the way back. It has to be a bit scary and that's why we took a look at the Klingenberger …

A very nice tour with a great view, a beautiful gorge, a castle and lots of interesting information boards. What more could you want?!
What I would have liked less of were steps, steps and more steps. My knees aren't so keen on the tour.
I had to turn around at one point in the gorge. Dark, sleet, hardly any …

Monday was the plan: Seltenbach Gorge near Klingenberg. Unfortunately a sentence with an X, because the gorge is again or still closed. So then just on the chestnut trail, it was really nice to walk, great paths to the lookout tower at the hiking home. Watching from the top of the tower how the sun has driven away the fog …

The absolutely perfect autumn hike with guaranteed sunshine.
Sm terroir for wine stand 🍷 enjoy the evening sun at the end.
The path above the Churfrankensteig is temporarily cordoned off and quite overgrown because the path is closed. Nevertheless, it can be carefully walked on.

March 13, 2024,Churfrankensteig mit Seltenbachschlucht

So, despite the drizzly weather, we had a nice tour in Lower Franconia with the Seltenbach Gorge, which is worth seeing (unfortunately close to a road)
The Cllingenburg ruins with refreshment stops are also great.
But my highlight was the Churfrankensteig, which has short, tough climbing sections that you CAN do but don't have to. Wire rope is thin and …
