The starting point of my tour was at the Ochenbruck/Schwarzenbruck train station near Nuremberg, through the Schwarzachklamm to the Brückenkanal.
Wildly romantic nature along the idyllic banks of the Schwarzach.
A natural wonder worth seeing, which is one of the most beautiful geotopes in Bavaria and has been a nature reserve since 1936.
A rustic path leads past steep sandstone …

Beautiful and varied VGN tour from Feucht to Ochenbruck: Jägersee - Alter Brückenkanal - Schwarzachklamm 🦋🐌🌳

With the 9 euro ticket and the S1+S3 from Bamberg via Nuremberg to Feucht. We walked the VGN tour suggestion the other way around: vgn.de/wandern/schwarzachklamm

Komoot has been causing problems (crashes, etc.) for some time; the elevation profile is wrong...🙃

Another tour from the VGN range. The path wasn't perfectly chosen everywhere, but the numerous highlights were really worth seeing 🤩🥰 The children also liked the tour very much, they would "definitely recommend it" 🤗

The track is pretty chaotic, I got lost several times because the description and the original GPX stored were different in many places

There is a correctly followed-up tour above.

I also post the link and description:
