In the Footsteps of Curate Adalbert Hollfelder: A Winter Hike with History
This half-day excursion takes place on December 29, 2026, starting from Neuhaus, through a landscape where Franconian Switzerland history, local remembrance culture, and tranquil winter moods are closely intertwined. The approximately 11-kilometer circular hiking trail connects multiple memorial sites dedicated to Curate Adalbert Hollfelder, making his work in Neuhaus, Tiefenlesau, and Hochstahl vividly tangible. The meeting point is at 12:30 PM at the parking lot at the Neuhaus cemetery; participation is free, and no registration is required. The tour is led by Ludwig Drummer and Petra Huber.
A Hike with Biographical Depth
The focus is not just on walking but on discovering a formative personality of the region. Adalbert Hollfelder served as a pastor in Neuhaus and Drosendorf from 1956 to 1990 and was valued far beyond Franconian Switzerland. The route leads to places where his memory remains visible to this day and combines nature experiences with cultural enrichment and local history.
Stations Between Neuhaus, Tiefenlesau, and Hochstahl
The path runs from the parking lot at the Neuhaus cemetery via Tiefenlesau to Hochstahl and back. Along the way, the excursion touches three memorial sites: the Curate Hollfelder Rest Area in Neuhaus, the local chapel in Tiefenlesau, and Hollfelder's burial site in the cemetery. This creates a quiet, richly informative city and cultural landscape tour, making history tangible.
Winter Atmosphere and Gentle Trail Guidance
The event takes place in the cool season and unfolds its special charm at this time. Open valley spaces, outskirts, and small chapels create a calm, almost contemplative atmosphere. Those wanting to experience Franconian Switzerland in winter will find an easy yet impressive hike with clear orientation, beautiful viewpoints, and plenty of space for conversations about the region, faith, and remembrance culture.
What Visitors Can Expect
The half-day excursion is aimed at all those looking for a guided tour with historical references and who want to authentically experience regional identity. Through expert guidance, a clear circular path, and the connection between nature, village history, and spiritual memorial places, a special discovery experience emerges for culture enthusiasts and hiking fans.
This tour combines movement, knowledge, and local history into a cohesive half-day program. Those wanting to experience Franconian Switzerland from a new perspective should secure this date and not miss the excursion dedicated to Adalbert Hollfelder.
