Trail Reviews

Gottwald
May 28, 2023, Zur schönen Aussicht auf der Retterner Kanzel – Forchheimer Wanderungen

The first part of the hike to Weilersbach is really great. The view of the Walberla from the Retterner Kanzel is a pleasure. From Weilersbach it gets a little boring. But overall it was a nice tour.
