Bastei und Zankelstein

Very nice place with benches to rest, take a breath and enjoy the view. The view is worth the climb.

Beautiful climbing rock above Pommelsbrunn. The lookout point of the Bastei is 100 meters next to it. In good weather you can see as far as Nuremberg.

Beautiful climbing (Zankelstein) and lookout rocks (Bastei) above Pommelsbrunns. In good weather you can look up to Nuremberg.

From the bastion you have a wonderful view of the Pegnitz Valley, the needles of the Zankelstein are worth seeing.

In clear conditions, the view extends to Nuremberg Castle!
