July 15, 2024,Ungelstetten; 🐕🐕🐕Planschen am Röthenbach bis Brunn und über den herrlichen Heide-Dünen-Wald zurück

31°C, so it had to be a water walk. The Franconian Dune Trail between Ungelstetten and Brunn is lovely to walk, varied and pleasantly cool and shady with plenty of access to water for my dogs. The way back over the wonderful soft paths in the pine forest with the heather already beginning to bloom is always beautiful.

May 20, 2024,Von Brunn 🥾 an der Röthenbach 🏞️ nach Ungelstetten 🍺

🌳 What a beautiful tour! Near Brunn near Nuremberg we went along the Röthenbach into the gorge of the same name. The Röthenbach meanders through the forest as if over dunes. The kids were thrilled, and after crossing the "river" barefoot, the day was "the best". In Ungelstetten there is a great place to stop for a bite to eat …

For me personally, one of the most beautiful hiking trails 🥾 in the Nuremberg region 🍺. It went idyllically along the Röthenbach to Ungelstetten. There is a great beer garden near the old barn with snacks and cakes. The waiters are quick and friendly. The route can be extended as desired. The Birkensee is also a great place to take …

After the rain passed and the sun came out, we went back to the Röthenbachklamm. By stopping in the old barn I was even able to convince the children to come along. 🍺🌞🍰
Always nice there.
