Cherries, Pollard Oaks and Jurassic Sea
The scenic hike leads to the largely treeless plateau of Hetzlas, a table mountain on the edge of the Franconian Switzerland, and returns in a big loop to the starting point. The region is known for sweet cherry cultivation, so it is especially beautiful to hike in spring when a white sea of blossoms makes the cherry orchards glow. In contrast, the mystically appearing pollard oaks along the path provide a striking sight. The mountain offers wide views in all directions repeatedly. But the soil conditions are also geologically very interesting and, with some luck, you can find an ammonite on the way – a relic of an ancient Jurassic sea.
