Hiking trail along the Pegnitz

Highlight • Trail

Between the Harnbacher Mühle and Rupprechtstegen, the hiking trail leads very close to the Pegnitz. Wonderfully picturesque, with the green meadows and the shady forests on the shore.

Hohensteiner Hof Cream Puff Café

Highlight • Cafe

The Hohensteiner Hof cream puff café has a reputation that extends at least as far as the view from Hohenstein Castle. Definitely go there! Warning: the cream puffs are huge. It is best to approach the portions with caution. They are available with a wide variety of fillings and variations (not only sweet, but sometimes hearty too). It is worth making a reservation in advance because it can get very busy here very quickly. Telephone number: 09152 533

Opening times: closed Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday to Sunday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. (possibly also until 6 p.m.)
