Frankischer Gebirgsweg

The hike on the 428-kilometer Fränkische Gebirgsweg starts in the Frankenwald (Franconian Forest), in Untereichenstein at the starting point for hikers, and ends in the Pegnitztal near Hersbruck in the Nürnberger Land. The hiking route takes you to one of the most imposing peaks in Franconia and offers you impressive landscapes and diverse nature experiences. Cultural attractions such as in Bayreuth, Pottenstein or Waldsassen are located directly on the route. Directly on the former border between east and west, a new top location in the hiking paradise of Franconia has emerged in the united Germany: The southeast-running Fränkische Gebirgsweg connects in Untereichenstein with the south-running"Frankenweg - from Rennsteig to Schwäbische alb\\\". You can combine the two long-distance hiking trails in Franconia with the Rennsteig in the west, the Kammweg in the east and the Saale-Orla-weg in the north.
