How to Wild Camp in Franconia - Legally Only
A farm near Gerhardshofen in the Aischgrund, the pitch is located at the forest's edge between small fish ponds. The farm raises carp and Christmas poultry; on 22 hectares you can choose your own spot, on a forest path or gravelled surface for large motorhomes. At night, just the forest. There is a toilet building, water too, electricity only by arrangement. The bakery is one kilometre away. The trails of the Steigerwald begin in the area, the Aura valley is nearby.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.
