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.

The stops in detail: Pottenstein, Püttlach Valley, Hollenberg, Körbeldorf, Kleiner Kalm, Büchenbach, Buchau, Pegnitz, and back to Pottenstein. There we treated ourselves to a little …

October 31, 2021,Kleiner Kulm – Singletrail von/nach Pegnitz Runde von Pottenstein

Wonderful autumn tour with lots of sunshine.
Great trails - from tricky to flowy. I can only recommend it.
The view from the small Kulm and Schlossberg compensate for the exertion uphill.

When I arrived in Püttlachtal, I switched on the …
