The most famous dripstone cave of the Franconian Switzerland, the Devil's Cave, and the idyllic Klumpertal are visited on this route.

Around Pottenstein, bizarre rock formations have partially developed. These particularly served as welcome building sites for the lords of the castle. This included the building site for the 1000-year-old Pottenstein Castle, which is already visible from afar. We first hike through the beautiful Weihersbach valley, past Schöngrund lake, and to the Devil's Cave. After visiting the largest dripstone cave in the Franconian Switzerland, we make a small detour through the Klumpertal and hike back to Pottenstein via the quiet Kirchenbirkig.
