Silicon Valley Minute

Winter hiking in Bavaria on the Jura platform to the NAAB Valley Nabburg (tvo). The air is fresh and clear, Frost is located on the meadows and snow crystals glisten in the trees: A walk on the Jura trail in the upper Palatine forest has its own special charm in the winter. Starting from the Vils leads the Jura trail loop over the Jura Ridge towards the NAAB Valley through the wintry Castle Lengefeld forest. Isolated peasant farms, small chapels and horse farms are on the side of the road. Again and again the far-reaching views of the Vils – and NAAB Valley ranges.

After about two hours, the hikers reached a prominent junction, from which the Castle Ling field loop now leads as optional keyword path directly in the charming town. The historic old town is reached after 3 km. The largest castle of the Upper Palatinate, the Burglengenfeld towers over her. Groups can after prior registration by the Castellan by the time lead the Wittelsbach and climb the tall tower. Worth seeing is also the visit to the largest beer cellar system of the Upper Palatinate with 47 related beer cellars along the cross mountain.
