Hiking

Lichtenegg, a very special place in Hersbruck Switzerland, is especially so during the second half of May to June. The strictly protected Lady's Slipper is waiting to be conquered, and despite being only about four kilometers long, the trail is certainly challenging. Steep and rooty sections, both uphill and downhill, will make you sweat profusely right from the start. The Emil and Türkenfels rock formations are also very worth seeing.

The track is very nice. Unfortunately I only did part of the route ... and couldn't discover any ...

Even outside of the flowering season, the route is worth a tour.
