The radio tower on the Hesselberg is the summit's prominent landmark and a key point of orientation for hikers and runners. It stands on the highest point in Middle Franconia (689 m) and was originally built as a telecommunications tower for the German Federal Post Office. Today, it serves for broadcasting and microwave radio communication and is operated by Deutsche Funkturm GmbH. With its distinctive silhouette, the tower rises above the tree line and can be seen from afar, even from the Ries crater or the Altmühl Valley. Right next to it are the summit cross, the geological nature trail, and a small viewing platform offering views as far as the Alps on a clear day. In the early morning, when mist rises from the valleys and the tower glows in the first sunlight, it appears almost like a silent sentinel over the landscape.

The Hesselberg geological trail leads for approximately 2.5 kilometers through a fascinating landscape, where you can experience the history of the southern German Jura up close. Several information panels explain how the Hesselberg, a mountainous site, formed from the White Jurassic (Malm) layers – remnants of an ancient seabed formed about 150 million years ago. The trail impressively demonstrates the transition from limestone to marl and leads past small outcrops where fossil traces of mussels and ammonites can be found. In addition to geology, you will also learn a great deal about the flora and fauna of this special cultural landscape: dry grasslands, rare orchids, juniper heaths, and nutrient-poor grasslands characterize the landscape. At the end, the trail rewards you with a wide panoramic view from the summit plateau – stretching across the Nördlinger Ries, the Franconian Lake District, and all the way to the Alps. A tranquil place where geological history, nature, and vastness merge.

From the Hesselberg to the south, the view extends far across the Franconian hills, over golden fields and dark forest islands. In the distance, on a clear day, the bluish contours of the Alps emerge – barely tangible, yet clearly noticeable. The morning light settles like a veil over the landscape, mist rises from the valleys, and the wind carries the scent of damp earth and fallen leaves. A silent moment between sky and land.

The highlight of Klingenweiher Park is the golden Weihersteig (Wilher Trail), which leads from the water lily, through the orchard, along the rest pavilion, past the beekeeper's house, to the "Bergrose" (Mountain Rose) and a viewing platform. The major project in Klingenweiher Park is the development of the former rubble dump, which is now a major component of Klingenweiher Park. At the foot of the Weihersteig (Wilher Trail) is a large children's playground that will delight even the littlest hearts. Among the beautifully blooming meadows, you'll find the artwork "God is Infinite," which has found a home even after the garden show.

Even though there is not much left to see of the State Garden Show after five years, the area along the Wörnitz is still beautiful.

The Upper Gate, popularly known as “Törle”, is the last remaining city gate. The passage was built around 1300. The paving duty had to be paid here. In 1752 the building was increased by two floors and the bell tower was built. The bell, cast in 1600, was donated by the Margrave of Ansbach.
