Discover Litzendorf

Cycling and riding the pump track

The pump track is in Litzendorf, near ASV Naisa at Wetterkreuz, and is an option for mountain bikers. It includes a main course, a course for small children and a Dirt Jump Line. The latter features special jump obstacles for experienced mountain bike and BMX riders. The different areas therefore vary not only in name but also in who the jump course is intended for.

People of all ages and skill levels can use the facility. The listed modes of transport are inline skates, skateboards, longboards, scooters, bicycles and balance bikes; people with disabilities can also use it. The course for small children is a dedicated option within the facility, while the Dirt Jump Line is described as being for experienced mountain bike and BMX riders. If you are considering Litzendorf for an active stay, these differences can help you decide which type of riding might appeal to your group.

Hiking amid nature and art

A trail network with 170 kilometres of marked paths and a hiking map has been developed for walkers in Litzendorf. There is also a clearly defined circular route: the Art and Contemplation Trail between Litzendorf, Melkendorf and Lohndorf is 5.3 kilometres long and passes through nature. Its length makes it a specific option for anyone looking for a particular loop rather than a longer trail network.

Outdoor art and sculpture trails can be found around the Ellertal near Litzendorf. One example combining art and hiking is “Die Juraschnecke” by Harald Müller. It is one of five artistically designed field monuments in the “Flur&Kunst” series in the municipality of Litzendorf and can be seen while hiking through the Ellertal. The festively decorated fountain in Tiefenellern also adds a seasonal touch: it is decorated every year at Easter.

Church, concerts and climbing crags

The Baroque parish church of St. Wenzeslaus was built by Johann Dientzenhofer between 1715 and 1718. Its step-free entrance and accessibility make it accessible to wheelchair users. Candlelight concerts are held in the church in October. This makes it a place to visit that combines historic architecture with a musical offering at a particular time of year.

The Eulenwand, a popular climbing area, is also near Tiefenellern. The “Leinleitertal – Frankendorf – Tiefenellern” climbing area has around forty climbable crags. This figure refers to the climbing area as a whole, not just to Eulenwand. If you are interested in climbing, this offers another way to discover Litzendorf and its surroundings beyond hiking and art.

A hike with regional connections

The 13 Breweries Hiking Trail runs from Strullendorf via the Ellertal near Litzendorf to Memmelsdorf, showcasing the brewing tradition of Franconian Tuscany. Since mid-2012, the trail has been 35 kilometres long in total and connects all the breweries in Franconian Tuscany. It adds a longer hike in the surrounding area to the local walking options. If you would like to plan your stay around a particular focus, you can choose between a 5.3-kilometre loop, the trail network in Litzendorf and a regional hiking route.

When looking for a holiday apartment in Litzendorf, these different interests can help you prioritise your travel plans: cycling and wheeled sports, a nature loop with an artistic focus, climbing or culture at the parish church each offer a different reason to explore the area.
