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.

Through Hopfenland and deep gorgesIn and around Spalt, everything revolves around hops and beer. The Spalter Land is the oldest hop-growing region in Germany with a history of over 1000 years. Many old hop houses with their broken steep saddle roofs and mighty half-timbered gables characterize the town's appearance. And the Spalt beer from the only German municipal brewery even has cult status: "In Spalt, in Spalt, people grow old. They don't care about anything else, that's what good beer does." But not only good beer keeps you young, but also hiking in beautiful landscapes. And the surroundings of Spalt have a lot to offer. The well-signed route of the Spalter Hügellandtour leads with constant ups and downs through deep gorges and over scenic heights. Along the way, there are also one or two opportunities to draw new strength from the good Spalt beer for the rest of the path.

    Aufgeteilt in zwei Schleifen von Spalt nach Höfstetten (15 km) und von Höfstetten nach Spalt (13 km) und durch den Teiler "Rezat-Tal" ist diese Tour sehr abwechslungsreich. Insbesondere die "Ostschleife" mit dem Müllersloch und der Massendorfer Schlucht (unbedingt mit einbauen) ist sehr schön. Ein kleines Manko auf der "Westschleife": Gerade im Abschnitt zwischen der Straße ST 2723 und dem Schnittlinger Loch sind Rastmöglichkeiten sehr rar. Hier wäre die ein oder andere Bank o.ä. sicherlich ein Gewinn. Toll sind v.a. die unterschiedlichen Wegbeschaffenheiten - der Anteil an Asphalt ist sehr sehr gering! Und auch bei Feuchtigkeit / Nässe in der Schlucht ist diese bei vernünftigem Schuhwerk und entsprechender Vorsicht gut zu bewältigen.

    Ist wirklich ein sehr schöner Weg. Wir sind ihn an einem extrem heißen, sonnigen Tag mit Hund gelaufen. Dadurch, dass er aber sehr viel im Schatten/Wald verläuft, geht das super. Kann man nur empfehlen, einfach schön.

    Sehr schöne und abwechslungsreiche Tour. Der Weg ist nicht überlaufen, nur in der Massendorfer Schlucht war etwas mehr los, aber diese sollte man nicht auslassen! Pilze hat es noch massenhaft gegeben, aber da ich mich da nicht so auskenne, habe ich das Sammeln lieber gelassen. Leider ist ja Lockdown, eine Einkehr ins Gasthaus Blumental wäre noch der krönende Abschluss gewesen😊

    Super schöne und sehr abwechslungsreiche Tour. Wir haben sie etwas abgewandelt und sind durch die Massendorfer Schlucht gewandert (lohnenswert) und danach wieder in die markierte Strecke eingestiegen. Auch für Hunde gut geeignet, es gibt immer wieder Bade- und Trinkgelegenheiten. Ist wirklich eine Top-Tour, mit Einkehr und Lesen der zahlreichen Infotafeln ist sie aber eher als Tagestour zu empfehlen.

    Sehr schöne abwechslungsreiche Tour. Der einzige Wermutstropfen ist, das der markierte Wanderweg leider an der Massendofer Schlucht vorbei führt, und nicht durch die Schlucht.

    schöne Wanderung jedoch empfehle ich jetzt im Sommer auf jeden Fall ein Insekten spray! Die Moskitos haben mich beim lebendigen Leib aufgefressen! Und ich hatte eine Zecke… Aber damit muss man rechnen. Ansonsten schöne Wanderung
