Picnic Table at the Entrance of Pfalzbachschlucht

Highlight • Rest Area

A very nice bench at the beginning (or end, depending on where you're coming from) of the Pfalzbach Gorge. Ideal for resting and having a snack.

Pfalzbach Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

Small, beautiful gorge. Here, nature is largely left to itself. Rare amphibians can also be found here. So you should be careful when walking here.

August 9, 2025,Durch die Pfalzbachschlucht zu den Himmelsstürmern von Neustadt an der Aisch

Today's trip to Neustadt an der Aisch is the last activity to round off my vacation...I was able to tick a few things off my to-do list, but there is still sooooo much to discover, my entire vacation just won't be enough!

March 24, 2024,🥾 Pfalzbachschlucht Neustadt/Aisch (N3) 🌬️🌸🌦️

With wind and weather and the necessary motivation, today we spontaneously went through the Pfalzbach Gorge, after all there was no 🌬️. So ideal today, although 🚧. The wild garlic is already very clearly visible and even the smell is a pleasure. 😉

September 29, 2024,Pfalzbachschlucht 🌳 bei NEA ✈️ bis zum Flugfeld

Visiting the city of sparkling water. Neustadt an der Aisch, known throughout Franconia for its "Franconian fountain" ⛲️. From the town center, we headed over the Aisch towards the Pfalzbachschlucht. At first, the "gorge" seemed more of a disappointment. But the further you went, the more beautiful it became. But you shouldn't expect too much. We followed the N3 hiking …

The highlight 🙂 was the path through the Pfalzbach Gorge 🌳.
The N3 path runs partly in the village and along the corridors.

Finally, we treated ourselves to ice cream 🍦 and cappuccino ☕ in the old town.

Some of the pictures were added later.

From the parking lot P1 (free on weekends) we went past the fairground to the Pfalzbach Gorge. Small idyllic gorge. Then it went through the corridor and past the airfield back to Neustadt. Route marking N3. There a little round in the city. Used to an ice cream at the market square before going back to the car. Nice little …

August 30, 2025,Pfalzbachschlucht NEA

The Pfalzbach Gorge is a roughly 400-meter-long, elevated ravine with a small path winding through it. It's beautiful, but calling it a gorge is probably a bit of an exaggeration. The coffee at the Italian restaurant by the airfield was the real highlight of the tour.
