Cycle path signs are located at intersections and indicate the direction of your destination and the distance. The signs are also supplemented with small pictograms of the themed routes. It's good to know where to go if you don't have a navigation system.

The Rottenstein Castle is hidden on the southern edge of the Haßberge Mountains, not far from Nuremberg, and is an insider tip for anyone who enjoys hiking along historic trails through quiet forests. Among the leaves and rocks, you'll find the remains of an old castle complex, now overgrown with moss and forest ferns. The atmosphere here is uniquely tranquil. An information panel provides information about this historic site.

Perfect in summer. The tree provides good shade for a break.

The castle and palace hiking trail leads through the quiet natural landscape of the Haßberge to mysterious castles, castle ruins, church fortresses and palaces. There is a lot to discover on the tour, because: A third of all former knights' and nobleman's residences in Lower Franconia are located in the Haßberge. The total distance of the castle and palace hiking trail forms a large oval of around 190 kilometers. The northern route with 132.5 kilometers begins in the Regiomontanus town of Königsberg i. Bay., the southern route with 109.5 kilometers in the half-timbered town of Zeil am Main. There is also an east-west connection of around 25km from Ebern to Königsberg i. Bay.
