Upper Entrance to Schlangenweg

Highlight • Trail

The Schlangenweg hike is certainly one of the most scenic forest hikes in the Steigerwald. A beautiful, narrow and "winding" path leads us uphill through the ravine forests in the Nordsteigerwald near Zell am Ebersberg.
Here is the upper entrance.

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This path meanders very romantically over a few kilometers through the beech forest along the many deep valley cuts. Very muddy in wet weather.

Wild Garlic Valley in Böhlbachgrund, Steigerwald Nature Park

Highlight • Forest

The lush green and the hearty smell of wild garlic accompanies you. Beware of mix-ups or carelessness, I also discovered arum leaves between the wild garlic.
We only plucked a few handpicked leaves, it was delicious.

April 27, 2025,Steigerwald: Böhlgrund und Schlangenweg

Because the Snake Trail was so beautifully winding, we'll walk the entire length again today. First, though, we'll head through the Böhlgrund valley with its huge clumps of wild garlic.

The 🐍 trail in Zell am Ebersberg is nice to walk when it's really warm. It's almost only pleasant through the shade and there are still wet feet sometimes 😅
We also saw a small slow worm on the way.

April 28, 2024,Schlangenweg - Spaziergang am Sonntagnachmittag

Another tour of the Haßberg, or Steigerwald, depending on how you look at it. Nice tour, but rather monotonous, photos aren't worth it, the motifs remain the same. I expected a bit more, it's pretty hyped on Komoot. But a nice walk on a Sunday.

June 26, 2024,Schlangenweg - Zell am Ebersberg

The Schlangenweg has been on my ToTo list for a long time. I have read or heard a lot of information about it. The fascinating path takes its name from the many untouched canyons and ravines that it winds around or past. Be careful, this path is quite muddy after rainfall, and fallen trees must also be overcome occasionally, so …

April 24, 2024,Böhlbachtal – Schlangenweg Runde von Zell am Ebersberg

The path was very wet on 04/24 and partially washed away or undermined. With fallen and low-hanging beech trees on the path, it was an exciting obstacle course that required good footwear.

May 10, 2022,Auf dem Schlangenweg bei Zell am Ebersberg - 10.05.2022

In Zell b Ebersberg near Knetzgau there is the Böhlgrund. A beautiful nature reserve. Only on the snake path in the reason. Narrow path, always a few mud holes. Still nice way. Back it went on a wide path to Zell. Beautiful round in the middle of the forest. Sturdy shoes and sure-footed are optimal.
