The massive maw of the Arndthöhle opens wide in the forest near Kipfenberg, leading you down a long staircase deep into the darkness. Rarely has a cave entrance excited us so much. And the descent into the cave hall is a truly beautiful and, thanks to the even steps, comfortable adventure. On this full-day family hike, a mostly narrow and at risky sections secured hillside path takes you several kilometers along the Schlossersteig, the Mühlenweg, and the Husarensteig, passing massive rock walls and thrilling steep slopes. Finally, you reach the Arndthöhle via a gravel path. The return route, less scenic compared to the outgoing path, leads about 1 km along the edge of a sparsely traveled road in the Birktal valley. Then you rejoin a partially primeval hillside path. Afterwards, you walk several hundred meters uphill next to a road and finally reach the “Brandplatz,” located high on a massive rock wall, on a comfortable and quiet gravel path for the last stretch. Standing up here, you understand why the sometimes unspectacular path from the Arndthöhle to here was definitely worth it. From this height, you get a wonderful view of Kipfenberg and across to the eponymous castle, which houses the Roman and Bavarian Museum. You can visit this museum on your descent along beautiful and root-stable paths down to Kipfenberg.
