View of Franconian Switzerland

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view stretches as far as Forchheim. If you include the beer garden in Adlitz, you'll have twice as much fun 😜

Märchenweiher near Atzelsberg

Highlight • Lake

In the forest there are several ponds. Lovingly, the ponds are called by the Erlangern "Swan Lake" or fairy tale pond. A very nice area to forget the stress of everyday life and relax.

May 19, 2023,Adlitz 》 59./2023 🏞🪞💦 🪨 Märchenweiher&Quelle

After the "rich" Father's Day barbecue yesterday afternoon, I used the non-working bridging day with my "better half" for a chilled, small Ründla in/around Adlitz (Erlangen-Höchstadt district). The very well-kept & beautiful area of Atzelsberg Castle should be emphasized as a highlight of the day in addition to the fairytale pond & Atzelsberg spring!

February 9, 2023,Atzelsberg Adlitz 🌞 🌞

Small spontaneous round to enjoy the sunshine.
The beer garden in Atzelsberg is partially open even in winter (see picture 3) and Adlitz only opens again when spring arrives.
