The Sleeping Eagle Owl

Highlight • Natural Monument

This eagle owl can be seen quite well in winter and when there is snow. It's interesting what nature creates

Chapel Ruins Zum Heiligen Baum (Arzlohe)

Highlight • Religious Site

All that remains of the single-nave, late Gothic building are surrounding walls up to five meters high, the portal and an ogival window. The first documented mention dates back to 1508, in connection with a crime committed here. Further notes from the diocese of Eichstätt date back to 1408.

Due to the name “Holy Tree”, it is assumed that this place was already a pre-Christian place of worship. This assumption is not proven, but it is conceivable, as this place lies in the transition between the high mountain “Acropolis of the Celts” and the Houbirg.

Lovely forest trail

Highlight • Trail

A beautiful forest path with some ups and downs. It can also sometimes turn into a mud fight or a mud bath.

Last charging station before the summit

Highlight • Structure

Great idea, the wooden e-bike charging station. Beautiful wood carving on the way to "Hohler Fels" and not the only "work of art" by chainsaw artist Thomas Ertel.

March 7, 2025,2025-03-07 Trail-/Berg-Laufrunde: Burgenrunde, mit Houbirg, Johannesburg, Mittelburg, Mühlkoppe und Burgruine Lichtenstein

Today, in glorious weather, I did a lovely trail/mountain run in the beautiful Hersbrucker Schweiz. I called the tour "Castle Tour" because I visited a few former castles along the way, such as Houbirg (Celtic oppidum) above Happurg, Johannesburg (as far as I know, that wasn't a castle, it's just the name of the rock formations) near Mittelburg, Mittelburg (Celtic …
