North of Spalt in the Nürnberger Land, you will find one of the most impressive sandstone gorges in Middle Franconia. The formation of the Massendorfer Gorge is owed to the small brook that springs at the upper end of the gorge and has carved deeply into the rock over time. The wild and untamed character of this powerful place makes the hearts of both big and small hikers beat faster. Close to the gorge, you will find another highlight: the mystically charming Müllersloch welcomes you with a waterfall that splashes more or less depending on the season. The last highlight of this hike through the Spalter Hügelland is the Celtic ring wall of the Bärenburg, over which your path leads back to the hiking parking lot.
