Highlight • Natural Monument

Interesting shape, actually easier to see on pictures than live.

At the "Pfersag-Wasserfall" you come by the circular walk Felsensteig or on the Gottesgartenrundweg Nord. The last few meters to the waterfall can be slippery and muddy. The about two meters high waterfall at Ebneth is something special. The Pfersag Waterfall is a horseshoe waterfall - like the North American Niagara Falls, only in miniature. After prolonged rain periods, the water flows over the entire rock stage and during dry periods, only a narrow beam flows over the middle. So recommended in every season.

Ebnether Forest archery course

Highlight • Structure

The archery course in the Ebnether Forest (officially called the Felsenkeller course) is operated by the Bowhunter Oberlangenstadt club. It is considered one of the most beautiful 3D courses in Northern Bavaria and is known for its challenging, rocky terrain. Here's what you can expect: There are a total of 32 stations with 3D targets, which have been fully open again since August 1, 2025, following renovations. The course leads through a wooded area with impressive rock formations and offers a variety of shots, including long-distance uphill shots. Bows of all types (including compound bows) are permitted, but crossbows are prohibited.

Ebnether Cellar Rock Labyrinth

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Ebneth cellars are located near the edge of the village of Ebneth and have been a protected natural monument for over 40 years. They were originally carved into the sandstone cliffs around 1790 and used as storage for beer and food supplies. Visitors can also admire numerous natural sandstone rock formations here. The area stretches approximately 250 meters in length and 50 meters in width and is strewn with over 1,000 massive sandstone blocks. These rock formations create narrow passages, caves, and crevices that invite exploration and climbing. Many legends surround this rocky area, which was likely settled by the Celts. Every year on Father's Day, the legendary cellar festival takes place here, attracting many visitors.

Impressive, the photos don't do the area justice. Sturdy shoes strongly recommended. Beware of MB drivers

It's been a few weeks since we were last in the Franconian. Once again see rocks and caves but also where we haven't been yet. So Komoot on, searched and found a nice tour. In bad weather we went to Ebneth to get to the rock labyrinth via the rocky path and from there back to Ebneth. For me, the …

Nice hike, however, the altitude difference of 90 up and 90 down did not fit, it was twice as much up and down....

On the outskirts of Ebneth we walked along the forest to the rock labyrinth. After exploring I searched my way. Continue on path number 4. Roamed through the forest. Also found a few rocks. After a while we landed at the Teufelsteg. There we turned to the Pfersag waterfall. Small waterfall with a few icicles. Back at the jetty we …

April 28, 2024,Runde von Ebneth mit Pfersag-Wasserfall und Felsenlabyrinth

Today we hiked to the Pfersag waterfall near Ebneth. We started right in Ebneth at the entrance to the town. We walked along meadows and wonderfully flowering rapeseed fields, past the turtle root, first to the Pfersag waterfall. The waterfall didn't have much water today, but it was enough for a few nice photos 😅. Then we continued on the …

A really nice hike with great little things to discover. Fields, forests and rocks alternate.

Sun! Honestly, truthfully, and in fact, they still exist. The last few days have just been awful and wet. But today it pulled us out. Bright skies, no snow and a hike near Ebneth were on the to-do list.
