View of Plassenburg Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the edge of the forest, you have this unique view of the castle. It doesn't appear as imposing and majestic as from other directions. Instead, it seems to nestle against the mountainside.

Quaint fountain 💦

Highlight • Structure

Quaint fountain that doesn't have a gargoyle, at least in mid-April.

Teufelsfelsen (Großer Stein)

Highlight • Natural Monument

Nice climbing rock, unfortunately there is no bench. The Teufelsfelsen is a geotope: it shows limonite slabs and tafoni weathering.

March 10, 2025,🏛️🌲 Erlebnispfad Patersberg-Runde von Veitlahm
Today we went to the Kulmbach area. Up to the Patersberg Tower. We parked in the car park at the Waldorf School in Veitlahm. From there we walked along the school, up to the adventure trail. On the way there were a few iron pigs, er, animals, standing around in the forest and there were some information boards, perfect for …

Great early morning walk 😊 after almost 2 days of constant rain 💦 I took the chance on a Sunday morning and walked this walk.

Today we followed a Komoot suggestion. Right at the beginning, Komoot led us on a somewhat stupid path that ends in a cattle paddock. The much better and more comfortable way is directly at the parking lot, see picture 1.

Our starting point is the hiking car park at the donkey barn. The hike leads near Veitlahm through forests, past meadows and fields. The highlights are the Padersberg Tower, the Vatsbrunnen and the waterfall. Back at the donkey barn you can eat delicious food and the beer tastes good too.

To relax today we only did a short walk, as the weather wasn't so great.
We started at the Waldorf school car park. We took …

Wonderful tour to the Patersberg and the waterfall - Note: The hornbeam path in Veitlahm is partly a private path and people do not like to hike along it!
