Wild Garlic Valley in Böhlbachgrund, Steigerwald Nature Park

Highlight • Forest

The lush green and the hearty smell of wild garlic accompanies you. Beware of mix-ups or carelessness, I also discovered arum leaves between the wild garlic.
We only plucked a few handpicked leaves, it was delicious.

Upper Entrance to Schlangenweg

Highlight • Trail

The Schlangenweg hike is certainly one of the most scenic forest hikes in the Steigerwald. A beautiful, narrow and "winding" path leads us uphill through the ravine forests in the Nordsteigerwald near Zell am Ebersberg.
Here is the upper entrance.

Schlangenweg Trail in Naturpark Steigerwald

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This path meanders very romantically over a few kilometers through the beech forest along the many deep valley cuts. Very muddy in wet weather.

Sturdy shoes and walking sticks are required for this hike. A high level of surefootedness is required in various places. Please do not take these instructions lightly, as certain sections of the route should not be underestimated.

September 28, 2021,auf dem Schlangenweg im nördlichen Steigerwald

Today I was on the Schlangenweg in the northern Steigerwald. Immediately at the entrance to the Schlangenweg there is a sign, the path is currently not accessible - landslide. Well, is that really true? You can always go back. The path meanders through a beech forest for several kilometers. There are a lot of fallen trees on the way, sometimes …

Because the Snake Trail was so beautifully winding, we'll walk the entire length again today. First, though, we'll head through the Böhlgrund valley with its huge clumps of wild garlic.

On the way to Bamberg we made a stopover in the Steigerwald and hiked the snake path and parts of the Keltenweg near Zell. The official description promised a lot, I wasn't really convinced. A nice hike on expected muddy paths and fallen trees. The creaking trees, which moved more or less strongly with the wind, were a bit scary. …

June 26, 2024,Schlangenweg - Zell am Ebersberg

The Schlangenweg has been on my ToTo list for a long time. I have read or heard a lot of information about it. The fascinating path takes its name from the many untouched canyons and ravines that it winds around or past. Be careful, this path is quite muddy after rainfall, and fallen trees must also be overcome occasionally, so …

February 18, 2023,Schlangenweg Zell am Ebersberg im Steigerwald

Weekend in my Franconian homeland part 1:
It started in Zell am Ebersberg at the church and then directly to the Schlangenweg on the Franconian Marienweg. On the meandering path along the gorges I was - admittedly - a little queasy today because of the trees lying across and the trees swaying and creaking due to the gusts of wind. …
