Himmelbach Meanders

Highlight • River

Mega trail !!!
A scenic highlight and a feast for the eyes! Demanding to drive. Again and again uphill and downhill, lots of roots, sandy passages, lots of small curves - simply top class!

The Birkensee is not developed for tourism, but very popular with many Nuremberg residents. The quarry lake is located about 20 kilometers east of Nuremberg, between Schwaig and Diepersdorf (municipality of Leinburg).
