North of Spalt in the Nürnberger Land, you will find one of the most impressive sandstone gorges in Middle Franconia. The formation of the Massendorfer Gorge is owed to the small brook that springs at the upper end of the gorge and has carved deeply into the rock over time. The wild and untamed character of this powerful place makes the hearts of both big and small hikers beat faster. Close to the gorge, you will find another highlight: the mystically charming Müllersloch welcomes you with a waterfall that splashes more or less depending on the season. The last highlight of this hike through the Spalter Hügelland is the Celtic ring wall of the Bärenburg, over which your path leads back to the hiking parking lot.

Almost a PilgrimageThe Way of St. James from Nuremberg to Ulm is just one of many routes in Germany and Europe that ultimately lead to the tomb of the Apostle James in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. However, we intend to follow it only for a short stretch, because, as is well known, the journey itself is the destination—the act of being on the road and the encounter with oneself. And our route from Kammerstein to Abenberg is practically tailor-made for this. An easy route and clear wayfinding, combined with virtually no significant climbs, make for a meditative hike. But even those without a spiritual inclination will find joy on this hike through the Franconian landscape typical of the eastern Rangau region. By the time you’ve gazed out over the countryside from Abenberg Castle, you’ll be at peace with yourself and the world.

But not only good beer keeps you young, but also hiking in beautiful landscapes. And the surroundings of Spalt have a lot to offer.
