The view stretches as far as Forchheim. If you include the beer garden in Adlitz, you'll have twice as much fun 😜

In the forest there are several ponds. Lovingly, the ponds are called by the Erlangern "Swan Lake" or fairy tale pond. A very nice area to forget the stress of everyday life and relax.

The March hike with the hiking group starts at the water tower in Marloffstein, where there is a hiking parking lot.
We walk to the fairytale pond through a beautiful forest, wood anemones are blooming on the edge and the sloes have already budded.
It was a lovely hike past castles and springs.
The weather was also better than reported. …

Panoramic circular tour with wonderful views! In the north into the Forccheimer Basin. View of Walberla and the famous Puzzle Chapel near Reifenberg. The Hetzles greets Kalchreurh from the east and from the south.

The fruit blossoms are already in the starting blocks and you can imagine the beauty that will …

The beer garden was beautifully situated in the sun - but unfortunately it was closed. In Marloffstein we could only have sat down, and on the way back the …
