Challenge or not, today we just had to go to the “Fränkische” again.
Start at the hiking car park near Draisendorf. From there first to Heckenhof. From there we go on a tarred road that is somehow intended for cars AND hikers towards the Aufseß sports field. All cars actually complied with the warning that the speed limit here is …

With the VGN to the Aufseß bridge or by car to the parking lot at the bridge, you first follow a varied path in a northerly direction to the rock at the Neuhaus cemetery. Then there is a route that is more suitable for bicycles to Kathi Bräu, only to disappear back into the forest soon afterwards. Shortly before Draisendorf, …

A wonderful loop, mostly along beautiful paths through the forest and the idyllic Aufseß Valley. The two castles are privately owned and cannot be visited - but the caves are..😏😉 Although the entrance/exit at the cave under the Fuchsloch is not without its challenges. ❗️After a little scramble, you can fortify yourself at the Kathi-Bräu, which we, of course, couldn't …

Nice relaxed route, easy to walk, only the detour to the Fuchsloch requires surefootedness, otherwise a few short rooty sections.
