April 26, 2026,Vom Schlossberg zum Windbeutelcafé 😋😋 und Burg Hohenstein

...so that I can join the conversation too: The destination of our short Sunday tour - the Windbeutelcafè in Hohenstein 😂!

Start at Schlossberg in Osternohe … great paths through forests and over green, blooming fields … after refueling, we took a detour via Burg Hohenstein … always great views of the Franconian countryside

This time we did this beautiful, varied tour in the cold season. However, with a cloudless sky and spring sunshine. We started in Götzlesberg and first came through the lovely village of Frohnhof. Here you can discover small "works of art" along the way and in gardens. Always with a view of Hohenstein Castle, we continued on varied paths. After …

A short loop from Schlossberg. We skipped Hohenstein in favor of Windburg (since you're already passing one of the Seven Summits). The trail up is now signposted and easily doable. Along the way, you'll repeatedly encounter the Tree Pictures Trail. The Bolzenstein is impressive, but the route we chose wasn't necessary; it's better to return to the trail.

Have fun on the beautiful, easy and appealing hike. Discover the great pictures on the tree picture path and in between there are always beautiful rock formations and sections of the path. Good walking😃

Today Angela and Günter had planned another beautiful tour for us. The scenery was a dream. The cream puff at the end was the crowning glory and just super easy. To finish off, the two of them had a hearty dinner. An all-round successful day. Thank you very much for that 💣🔨🔝 Greetings 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️
