Discover the region

Wendelstein is located southeast of Nuremberg on the edge of the Franconian Lake District. The municipality is known for its picturesque landscape with rolling hills and numerous hiking and cycling trails. A highlight of the region is the namesake mountain "Wendelstein", which rises majestically above the surrounding countryside.

Tourist attractions are diverse: Historical buildings such as St. George's Church or Stein Castle can be visited. Families can enjoy a trip to the Hundshaupten Wildlife Park or a ride on the steam train on the museum railway between Gräfenberg and Ebermannstadt.

Culturally, Wendelstein also has a lot to offer: The annual cultural festival "Wendelsteiner Kulturwochen" attracts visitors from near and far. Here you can experience concerts, theatre performances, readings and much more.

Wendelstein also has a lot to offer in the way of culinary delights: In the cosy restaurants you can enjoy regional specialities such as bratwurst or gingerbread - of course accompanied by a cool beer from one of the local breweries.

For outdoor activities, the warmer seasons such as spring and summer are particularly suitable. Hikes on the Wendelstein mountain or bicycle tours through the Franconian Lake District are popular leisure activities. In winter, the nearby ski region at Ochsenkopf is ideal for winter sports enthusiasts.

Even when the weather is bad, there is plenty to do in Wendelstein: A tour of Stein Castle or a trip to Nuremberg city centre offer variety and cultural enjoyment.

Summarising, Wendelstein is definitely worth a trip! The picturesque landscape, historic buildings, cultural highlights as well as culinary delights make this destination an unforgettable experience. We hope that this travel guide will help you to make the most of your stay and get to know all the facets of Wendelstein.

    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🤝
