Highlight • Gorge

The Klumpertal you must necessarily look, if you are in Pottenstein. Pure nature, awesome idyll, just awesome. Back over the Jägersteig, enjoy this.

Singletrack at the Zwergenhöhle near Hollenberg

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Demanding trail, S1, at the dwarf cave. The visit is worth recommending. The trail can actually only be ridden from above, pushing or carrying is the order of the day from below.

Hartenreuth Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Right on the roadside stands a tiny chapel under a mighty deciduous tree. From the chapel you have a great view over the wide hills of the Franconian Switzerland.
