A real insider tip on the Eichelberg Hiking Trail! 🌿 Here, rugged nature meets a romantic atmosphere: a disused quarry with sweeping views over the green hills – perfect for taking a deep breath. At dusk, the frogs begin their concert – a true nature experience! 🎶🐸 A place to marvel, listen, and enjoy. 🌄

In Neu Bamberg, the castle ruins aren't the only thing worth visiting. For dining recommendations: The Junkersmühle and the Alte Ölmühle (the latter is located outside towards Wölstein and is only open on weekends). Those who enjoy a challenging climb on gravel roads can drive to the Winzeralm, not far from Neu Bamberg. The reward is a refreshing glass of wine. (Open whenever the flag is flying on the hilltop.)
