Key facts of the tour
Neustadt an der Aisch has a lot to offer. The Pfalzbach circular trail (N3) through the Pfalzbach gorge leads through a landscape of unspoilt beauty. Soft forest and field paths instead of tiring paved paths lead you along the course of the stream, up the slopes of the Pfalzbach gorge, through idyllic deciduous forest and through orchards back to the town.

Nature is largely left to its own devices here, a paradise for rare insects, birds and plants. Information boards provide information about the special features of nature and geology. Every season is beautiful here. In spring, the delicate green and the first blooms, summer with its ripe fruit, autumn, which turns the old ash trees over 40 metres high yellow, winter with its clear, white splendour.

The 7.5-kilometre route will take you up a few metres in altitude, but you will be rewarded with many beautiful views. And speaking of enjoyment: There are also opportunities to stop for refreshments.
