<p>Idyllic meadow valleys, picturesque half-timbered villages and old castles alternate with enchanted rock formations, mysterious stalactite caves and barren heights. Franconian Switzerland, the area between Bamberg, Erlangen, Nuremberg and Bayreuth, is a landscape straight out of a picture book. The Rother hiking guide Franconian Switzerland presents 50 varied routes in this ideal hiking region.</p><p>In narrow valleys, you walk along lively rippling rivers and streams, some of which are still rattling with old mills. This romantic, endearingly sleepy yet entertaining landscape is framed by wooded slopes, from which high, shimmering rocks rise. After a strenuous tour, the nearest village inn, perhaps even with its own brewery, invites you to enjoy a hearty snack and a typically quaffable Franconian country beer.</p><p>The selection of routes ranges from easy paths to lengthy day hikes; many routes also include suggestions for comfy, short walks.</p><p>The authors Anette Köhler and Stefan Herbke present each tour with a detailed tour description, a detailed map section with route entry and a meaningful elevation profile.
