This hike takes us through the romantic "Schwarzachtal" with its distinctive rock formations and caves such as the "Gustav-Adolf Cave" as well as the "Karlshöhle" and the "Schwarzach Gorge". There is a place to eat at the Brückkanal in the "Waldschänke Brückkanal". From the forest inn, you cross the Brückkanal and follow the historic "Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal", which brings a lot of variety to the straight canal route with its locks and bridges. At Lock 51, you cross the bridge and follow the hiking trail according to the map, passing the grave of Karl Mall until you reach Faber Castle in Schwarzenbruck. Before returning to the nearby starting point of the hike, you visit Petzen Castle, which is privately owned.

The Schwarzach near Schwarzenbruck has deeply carved into the sandstone over millions of years, creating a wonderful gorge where it is great to hike and stroll between the sometimes high rock walls. The paths are characterized by their easy accessibility, making them particularly manageable for small children's feet or seniors. For anyone seeking a little climbing adventure, there are plenty of opportunities on the slope above to follow narrow paths along the sometimes bizarre rock formations.

    Wir haben am Brückkanal geparkt und die Runde im Uhrzeigersinn gemacht. Die Schwarzachklamm ist mit ihren Felsformationen wirklich sehr beeindruckend.

    Der Marsch in und um Nürnberg war Klasse. Nachdem das für mich Premiere war am Stück 50km zu laufen fand es natürlich auch spannend wo man seine persönliche Grenze hat. Aber der Teamspirit lässt einen einfach durchziehen. Schade fand ich das nach dem Zieleinlauf der Eindruck aufkam geht schnell nach Hause, wir wollen zusperren. Mir war auch nicht klar das in dem Wanderpass ein zweiter Stempel abzuholen ist. Ehrlich gesagt habe ich auch keine Station gesehen an der stand: "hier kannst du dir den Stempel abholen". Schade... Sonst war der Tag perfekt und ich würde das jedem empfehlen der gesundheitlich dazu in der Lage ist 💪

    Super Organisation, eine Erfahrung die mal jeder machen sollte um sein inneren Schweinehund zu überwinden und über seine Grenzen zu gehen. Das ist auch eine Motivation für das restliche Leben, ein Beweis dass man alles schaffen kann. Gestern dachte ich noch nie wieder heute Plane ich schon das nächste mal.

    Es war eine schöne Herbstwanderung. Start ind VPs sehr gut organisiert. Wir sind am vp3 ausgestiegen da wir zum ersten Mal gelaufen sind und ich mit den Schuhen Probleme bekam. Nur dass man von da mit teuren Taxi zurück musste, fanden wir nicht gut und ich finde es müsste ab da auch einen Ziel Einlauf geben..ist auch eine grosse Leistung, 30 km zu gehen. Aber ich komme wieder...

    Super Event. Ich war das erste mal dabei und mach bestimmt wieder mit. Ich möchte mich auch nochmal bei meinen beiden Freunden aus Ingolstadt und Kaiserlautern bedanken, die mich so toll die letzten 5km begleitet haben und mich unfassbar motiviert haben durchzuhalten. Vielen Dank auch an alle Helfer. Es war grandios und der Muskelkater verdient🤝

    Eine wunderschöne Strecke, perfektes Wetter und hochmotivierte, gut gelaunte Teilnehmer - war klasse! Die Verpflegungsstationen waren top, die Helfer überragend. Danke dafür! Beim Zieleinlauf hat bisschen die Stimmung gefehlt finde ich. Das war etwas schade. Freuen uns aufs nächste Mal 👍
