Discover Edelsfeld

If you’re looking for a hotel for your trip to Edelsfeld, the area’s varied attractions can help you plan your stay. Edelsfeld is home to short themed trails, historic sunken lanes, the Goglhof three-sided farmstead and a cycling route. The routes vary considerably in length and format, from the 600 m Pirschpfad wildlife trail to the 24 km cycle tour.

Circular walks and educational trails

On the Hahnenkamm, the 600 m Pirschpfad wildlife trail forms part of the 3 km Kneipp circular walk in Edelsfeld. It features life-size, realistic representations of native forest animals. When planning your route, the shorter distance refers to the wildlife trail, while the longer one refers to the circular walk.

The Kneipp trail on the Hahnenkamm starts at the five pillars of Sebastian Kneipp by the sports grounds and follows a circular route of about 3 km. The stated starting point and approximate length can help you gauge the size of the loop.

The Upper Palatinate Bee Educational Trail is 3 km long and runs from Schönlind to Eberhardsbühl. Although the trails are similar in length, they differ in format: the Kneipp trail is a circular route, while the Bee Educational Trail has two named endpoints.

Sunken lanes and farmstead history

Old sunken lanes can be found on the forest path towards Sinnleithen and below the burial mounds on Steinlinger Weg. The sunken lanes on Steinlinger Weg run towards Weißenberg. Two areas with different track patterns can be distinguished along Steinlinger Weg: on the descent from the Hahnenkamm to Edelsfeld, six to eight track traces can be identified in the forest; between the new sports ground and the edge of the village, there are ten to twelve.

The Goglhof open-air museum is a three-sided farmstead in the district of Eberhardsbühl, built in the 17th and 18th centuries. A three-sided farmstead is a farm complex whose buildings are arranged along three sides of the courtyard. The Goglhof thus combines a specific historical period of construction with a named architectural form.

Edelsfeld on the Simultankirchen cycle route

Edelsfeld lies on Route 3 of the Simultankirchen cycle route. The 24 km discovery tour starts at the former Simultankirche St. Stephanus on Sulzbacher Straße. At 24 km, the cycle tour is considerably longer than the 600 m Pirschpfad wildlife trail or the approximately 3 km Kneipp circular walk—a useful comparison when estimating the distances involved in your stay.
