Lichtenstein castle ruins with viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The castle ruins tower high above the town of Pommelsbrunn. A trip to the vantage point is definitely worth it, because the view of the town and the Nuremberg region is simply fantastic.

Bastei Viewpoint (Zankelstein), Pommelsbrunn

Highlight • Viewpoint

The entire mountain range from the Bastei over the Zankelstein further east is absolutely worth a trip. You can actually only get to the benches with a bit of agility. It is very beautiful up there in autumn too.

April 8, 2024,Hersbrucker Schweiz: 1000 Höhenmeter Rundwanderweg

With summer temperatures above 25 degrees, I was seized by the desire to finally tackle the 1000m tour.

Even though I have already hiked a lot around Pommelsbrunn, the fantastic area with its steep climbs, narrow paths in the secluded forest and the magnificent views never ceases to amaze me.

Since I've already run the south and north laps individually, I wanted to try both at once. A tour with many highlights and great nature. When the weather is nice, you also have many great views. The starting point is at the train station in Pommelsbrunn. So it's also easy to get to by public transport. There are only places …

For a good two years I have been planning to do the tour again and again, as it is good practice for my upcoming mega marches and also a little bit of nature experience from my childhood.

I set off at around 6:30 a.m. knowing that it will be a sunny day. I have a two-hour drive ahead of me …

December 28, 2023,1000HMR Pommelsbrunn (Weihnachtsspeck-Verbrennungsrunde😂).

As always, a nice round. There are currently a lot of trees across the paths. Due to all the rain in the last few days, the paths are very muddy and slippery. Despite everything, a wonderful hike.
