Klumpertal
A quiet valley south of Pottenstein with rock pillars, streams and forest paths, forming a classic hiking route.
The Klumpertal is a karst valley about 6 km long, lying between Schüttersmühle and Kleinlesau south of Pottenstein. Its stream runs clear, with tall dolomite pillars rising on both sides, and along the way you'll find small caves and old mills in the woods. From the Schöngrund Lake in Pottenstein, a trail along the valley floor takes about 3 hours round trip. The gradient is gentle, making it one of the most recommended easy hikes in the area. Admission is free, but there are few facilities along the way, so bring your own water.
