Hiking Near Nuremberg | 1 Guide

Franconian Switzerland, just north of Nuremberg, offers some of Germany's most distinctive hiking—trails winding through limestone formations that create a fantasy landscape of towers, caves, and dramatic viewpoints. Our hiking guides cover the best routes through this natural wonderland and beyond: paths connecting medieval castles perched on impossible cliffs, forest walks through the Steigerwald, and river valley trails along the Regnitz and Main. We provide the practical details that help you choose the right hike and discover why the landscapes near Nuremberg, while less famous than the Alps, have their own compelling character.
