May 11, 2026,TraumRunde Prichsenstadt+Geiselwind

A tour that one (man) as a solo hiker doesn't really need. There was too little of interest.
The highlight for me was the beaver dam right at the beginning of the tour. Unfortunately, it doesn't really show up in the picture.

Fog and cold wind didn't stop me from going on this tour combination. The dream rounds in Prichsenstadt and Geiselwind are wonderful to hike. Mainly in the forest, protected from wind and weather, this round is a pleasure in every season.

I almost overslept this hiking day – but luckily, only almost! I was the last one to set off on the 20-kilometer route at the IVV Hiking Day in Altenschönbach today. From the very beginning, I was determined to give it my all, because I didn't want the hiking club to have to wait too long for me.

The hike is well-marked, as it covers part of the Geiselwind and Prichsenstadt Dream Trails. It leads through the forest, sometimes on wider paths, but more often on narrow trails and along the forest edge, through meadows. There are wonderful views from the Mariengarten vineyard, and there's also a view of the valley below, but then more of the highway. …
