Great scenery for cycling. It also works great with a gravel bike.

The cycle path between Hollfeld and Stechendorf is officially known as the Franconian Switzerland High Trail. The path follows the former railway line between Bayreuth and Hollfeld, which was closed in 1974. Thanks to the use of the old railway line, the route is largely flat and gently sloping. From Hollfeld, the path leads along the Wiesent Valley towards Stechendorf and on to Bayreuth. It is often also referred to as a leisure cycle path or a railway line path.

A very nice hike with beautiful views of Pottenstein and rock formations. Hiking boots are essential. The rocks and tree roots in the forest are very slippery.
