East from Hersbruck - Hohenstadt, Eschenbach, Ruine Lichtenstein

Today I've visited mountains on the east from Hersbruck (Franconian Jura). I've come to the small city Hohenstadt, lying at the river Pegnitz. Normally you can get there by regional train from Nürnberg (DB Regio), but nowadays there are renovation works on railway tracks between Hersbruck and Bayreuth, and periodically you need to change to replacement bus.

Hahnaluch, a cave adapted as house, according to information label someone was living here in XIX century
