At first it is just a narrow, almost inconspicuous stream. But soon the hesitant rippling becomes a confident noise. The narrow brook becomes a broad brook that makes its way …

The cemetery is located about 2 km northeast of Pretzfeld on the "Judenberg". It is located from the trail parking lot above Pretzfeld in the direction of Ebermannstadt, accessible via a forest road through the Kellerwald.

Perfect hiking weather to check things out... Are they blooming yet? Not everywhere yet, but here and there, things are really starting to bloom. This time I walked the trail in the opposite direction, then, of course, a beautiful Michala and a small dam at Nickl Keller.

Pretzfeld-Trubachtal - the Cherry Trail. The trail is beautiful and varied, perfect for hiking before and after the cherry blossoms. There are information stations in the forest. Refreshments are available at the Wannbach Gasthof Mühlbhäuser and, of course, at the Pretzfeld beer cellar.

This hike past the cherry orchards around Pretzfeld is particularly worthwhile during the cherry blossom season (depending on the weather, usually mid/late April) and during the cherry harvest.

On the approximately 10 km route, there is a lot of interesting information to learn about cherry cultivation in Franconian Switzerland. Wonderful views over the cherry orchards and good places to stop …

A bit chilly and clouds in the sky, but the weather is holding.
We set off from Pretzfeld train station. Many people are out and about to see the cherry blossoms.
We follow the Cherry Trail sign and walk uphill past cherry blossom trees, a chapel, and the Pretzfeld cellar. Many old doors lead into the mountain to storage rooms. …

This is how hiking is fun. Parked at the Pretzfeld cellar, we hiked along beautiful forest trails to Wannbach. On the way we were even attacked by an aggressive squirrel. We passed many orchards on the way back to Pretzfeld. Of course we also had to pay a visit to the cellar. It's a real tip. High above Pretzfeld in …
