August 23, 2024,Berg- und Taltour von Hersbruck nach Hohenstein und an der Pegnitz entlang zurück

Komoot suggested the tour as a hill and valley. We took back roads to Hohenstein. At the Hohensteiner Hof, there are cream puffs in various variations and they are very tasty. From Ruprechtstegen, the cycle path goes along the Pegnitz. This is the most beautiful part of the tour.
