From Market to MarketAs many as three remarkable market towns lie on this extremely varied tour through the gently rolling landscape of the Upper Zenngrund. Starting from the old monastery town of Langenzenn, we first visit the market town of Wilhermsdorf, then the market town of Neuhof an der Zenn, and finally the market town of Erlbach. All three can boast a beautiful local appearance and also offer opportunities for some art historical discoveries. The designation "market" is by the way a peculiarity of Bavarian municipal law, which does not exist in other federal states. It no longer has anything to do with the former granting of market rights, but certifies a place a certain regional importance, which classifies it between a municipality and a town. If our hike from market to market is a bit too long, you are welcome to walk it in stages and break off and resume at one of several railway stops.

About the DillenbergCadolzburg used to be a popular excursion destination for the people of Fürth, who especially came here during the »Bläih«, meaning the cherry blossom time, with the lovingly named local train »Mockerla«. This tour is meant to prove that the romantic market town is a great starting point for exciting hikes at any time of the year. It leads over the wooded sandstone ridge of the Dillenberg to the legendary Druids' Stone and from there further to the Hammer Forge, which is idyllically located in the Farrnbach valley. Through the Franconian farming villages of Stinzendorf and Gonnersdorf, it goes back to Cadolzburg, where you should take some time to visit the old town center along with the castle. And why not climb the Cadolzburg lookout tower at the end of the hiking day with its 143 steps and enjoy the magnificent panoramic view of the surrounding area?
