A wonderful hike. The sights are fantastic, the signage is excellent. The ascents are always moderate and the paths well developed. And off the beaten path, there is also the Michel Cave to discover for a quick on-top adventure. In addition, it goes almost constantly uphill at the beginning, then almost exclusively gently downhill in the second half. Hiking heart, what more could you want?

This hike takes us through one of the most beautiful valleys in Franconian Switzerland, the section between Rupprechtstegen and Velden, and starts in Lungsdorf, the starting point of many hikes in the Pegnitz valley. The path leads us through the wonderful Pegnitz valley, along the Pegnitz river to Velden, a small town with many sights. Our path does not go into Velden but crosses the Pegnitz bridge, past the war memorial, then we go up the narrow ridge path to the viewpoint, where we can enjoy a magnificent view down to the Pegnitz and Velden with castle views, and more. It continues onto the Velden plateau, over wide meadows and beautiful forests .... crossing the Kipfental .... and reaching the Ankertal where we can admire the natural monument the "Andreas Church". At the end of the Ankertal there are huge climbing rocks very popular with climbers and right after that the village of Rupprechtstegen in the Pegnitz valley. From here, it goes over the Pegnitz bridge again, then we follow the Pegnitz valley cycling and hiking trail along the Pegnitz back to Lungsdorf, the starting point of our hike.
Some places to eat and drink (opening hours see internet) are available in Velden, in Rupprechtstegen at the station in the railway wagon (which can also be used as a start point for the hike), and in Lungsdorf at the kiosk.
