Hiking

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.

Cycling

The finely graveled path runs off the road between the fields. There are almost no inclines and since the route is a little higher than the Wiesent next to it, you have a beautiful view over the valley.

Nice to drive this Bahntrassenradweg, fine gravel.
