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.

From the half-timbered village of Hetzles to the Waldlucke viewpointThe elongated ridge of the Hetzleser Berg is a popular excursion destination in the Erlangen surrounding area. The striking spur of the Franconian Jura is just 10 km from the Huguenot city. Along with the neighboring Walberla, the table mountain formerly known as Leyerberg or Hetzlas is considered the gateway to the Franconian Switzerland. The path up to its nearly 550 m high plateau can be managed without much effort. However, there are only a few spots with views, as the plateau is surrounded on all sides by dense mixed deciduous forests. Peak season around the mountain is during the cherry blossom when the orchards shine snow-white and attract many day-trippers, hikers, and cyclists. Our tour is an experience in every season: It leads us from the beautiful half-timbered village of Hetzles via the Streitbaum to the plateau of the mountain at Pommer and from there to the viewpoint at Waldlucke. The return route goes over the old castle site at the northwest spur and through an impressive hollow path in Dogger sandstone as well as across orchards.
