impressive nature

Zone out, relax and enjoy - The massive stone formations will strike you just as the silent small-streams that originate at the Ochsenkopf Mountain. Many trails lead to various sites around the mountain. One of which is the “Goetheweg” with a length of only 5 km. The Ochsenkopf is part of one of the longest hiking paths in the area, the Franconian hiking path, which has a total length of 420 km.
