How to Wild Camp in Franconia - Legally Only

The private campsite "Wie Wildcampen in Franken - nur legal" is located in Gerhardshofen on a traditional family farm in the Aischgrund region. On 22 hectares of land between picturesque fish ponds and forest, you'll find your personal retreat, far from the hustle and bustle. The Steigerwald region attracts visitors with the Aurach Valley and the Eberhard Trail for varied explorations. It's only 17 kilometers to Erlangen – a good starting point for visiting the sinter terraces of the Lillach or the Ehrenbürg.1

Sights in the area1

Aurach Valley

The Aurach valley winds through the Steigerwald; at the old ford you can cross the little river on foot, and the Eberhard Trail leads walkers on through the hills.

Ehrenbürg (Walberla)

The flat-topped hill at the edge of Franconian Switzerland, reached by the climb up the Walberla; a wide view from the top, cherry blossom in the valley in spring.

Erlangen

The university town lies about 17 kilometres away; the baroque palace garden and the old-town lanes make a good rainy-day outing.
