HHohenstein into the Pegnitztal. Super round

The Langenstein is located directly on the Heroldsteig trail (marked with a blue cross on a white background). Both from the south and the north, the rock formation can be reached via a challenging uphill climb. The ascent is worthwhile not only for hikers and climbers, but also for mountain bikers. Both descent options, north or south, are interesting and fun.

The Pegnitz is a peaceful little river; you don't need to be a professional.
