The “Old Festival”.
The area around the tower is a nice place to take a break.
Those with enough energy left in their legs can climb the countless steps and enjoy the view.

Seer nice view. Several super maintained "Downhill / Flowtrails". The restaurant is really culinary high quality. Super nice beer garden!

The wasteland with ruins and a lookout tower is located in the forest north of Zirndorf at the highest point of the Rosenberg (easternmost foothills of the Cadolzburg Ridge). A residential path leads to state road 2242 (Fürther Straße).

The first reports of the fortification show a tower hill castle (motte) that existed in the 13th century. On April 29, 1306, the Zirndorf Imperial Ministerial Heinrich von Berg sold “vnser Burch den Berch” to the Burgraviate of Nuremberg. He had already pledged them to the Nuremberg financier Groß. This is also the first documented mention. In 1325 the castle was called “zv dem alten Perge”, and at the beginning of the 17th century it was called “Alte Veste” for the first time.[1]

In the turmoil of the urban war from 1387 to 1389, the existing fortifications were razed by the people of Nuremberg in 1388.
