Vom Birkensee durch die Röthenbachklamm
16.4kmLength
334mElevation gain
Out-and-back
One of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful single trail in Franconia. More flowing than technical, this beautiful trail winds its way from Bikensee to Ungelstätten. Only as wide as a towel, winding and constantly up and down, the trail winds its way through the forest. On the return journey, the same route suddenly becomes a completely different path. As this path is very easy to walk on, please be considerate of hikers!
