Mandlau


In the Franconian Switzerland lies our idyllic farming village Mandlau, the oldest surviving house dates from 1762. In Mandlau it feels as if time has stood still. Villagers here still rely on each other and still feel connected as one big family. The special thing is that the ages of the villagers vary from young to old.


The area here is very beautiful and natural.

 

In the vicinity there are already 21 different experiences for young and old, such as: visiting the 100-year-old stalactite caves, the 1000-year-old Burgt of Pottenstein, tobogganing, karting, steep wall climbing, climbing forest, more than 500 km of hiking trails, mountain bike trails etc.

 

In the immediate vicinity there are also various sights to visit, such as the watchtower "himmelsleiter" looking over Pottenstein, the watchtower Hohenmirsberg, De Burght van Pottenstein and the newest addition in the area called the Skywalk, 2 art-historical Catholic churches in Pottenstein, etc. In other words, you will not get bored. Once attached to this particularly beautiful and friendly environment, you will never want anything else.

Mountainbiking

The land of castles, caves and delights is known for its large number of challenging tours and designated discovery trails of varying degrees of difficulty. The so-called "bicycle link Franconian Switzerland" is currently being gradually expanded, so that mountain bikers have a wide range of options with good public transport connections.

In Pegnitz and Pottenstein you can look forward to a very special treat. According to various cycling magazines, the Pegnitz-Pottenstein Tour is one of the 10 most beautiful MTB routes in Germany.

Climbing

Climbing is part of Franconian Switzerland. Legendary steep slopes of varying degrees of difficulty await experienced mountaineers and beginners in the Frankenjura, Germany's most famous climbing area. Let's go up the wall!

Climbing has a long tradition in the Frankenjura. For more than 200 years, climbing enthusiasts have been attracted by the attractive low mountain range landscape - not surprising with around 12,000 climbing routes on about 800 individual rocks. The limestone cliffs of the Frankenjura promise a varied and challenging climbing experience with their numerous cracks, chimneys, walls, ridges, overhangs, beer grips and finger holes in the rock. It is not for nothing that climbing icons such as Wolfgang Güllich and Kurt Albert laid the most difficult routes in the bizarre rock formations and thus wrote climbing history.
