Always nice, the Steinerne Gassl. Beautiful path along the scree field, which always offers a wonderful view of the reservoir. There is a bench here to enjoy the view.

View of Happurger See from Hohler Fels

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Houbirg is a mountain near Happurg in Middle Franconia with an abandoned Celtic oppidum of the same name. Remains of the walls, some of which are still ten meters high, have been preserved and, with a length of four and a half kilometers, enclose an area of almost one square kilometer. In addition, a prehistoric site, a castle stable and a tunnel complex built as part of the underground relocation bear witness to the history of the survey.

This spacious cave, about 20 meters long, five meters high and up to ten meters wide, is located in the hollow rock above Happurg. It forms one of the foothills of the Jura plateau to the west, which slopes down relatively steeply to Hersbruck Bay.

Moss-covered rock formations on the Hochberg

Highlight • Natural Monument

Varied hiking trail over the ridge, paired with interesting data on the history of the Celtic castle. A bit of exciting climbing and lots of opportunities to play and hide and seek make this ridge interesting for hikes with children.

Highlight (Segment) • Summit

It goes up steeply, but the path is still easy to walk and is very beautiful. Hiking sticks are helpful, especially in wet conditions
