Departure from Nuremberg (Middle Franconia)
The Schmausenbuck, in the east of Nuremberg, is best known for the Nuremberg Tiergarten located there. What not everyone knows, however, is that this wooded hill, around 390 metres high, is also one of the quarries for the so-called ‘Burgsandstein’, which was used in many of the city’s famous buildings. The former quarries there in the Nuremberg Reichswald are now designated as a valuable geotope by the State Office for Environmental Protection.

Departure from Rednitzhembach (Middle Franconia)
The Rednitz-Rezat Trail from Rednitzhembach to Spalt follows the river all the way. It takes you past the varied landscapes of the Franconian Lake District. Sometimes over wooded high banks, sometimes through wide valley meadows into the famous Spalt hills with their countless hop gardens. Cultural highlights along the way range from historic old towns, Ratibor Castle, museums and many beautiful churches and monuments to art trails. Cosy Franconian pubs and beer gardens invite you to stop for a break along the way.
