Idyllic loop in the Altmühltal Nature Park, Bavaria.
This short loop begins at the Steinerne Rinne car park near Rohrbach. First it goes to the Steinerne Rinne, a natural treasure of the Franconian Jura. Here the creek bed gradually increases due to lime deposits from the flowing water. There are unique wildflowers such as marsh marigolds near the water. Then it goes through deciduous forest on the plateau to the wind farm. Along a creek with tufa springs, you return to the parking lot. Here is a children's playground and a Kneipp pool.
