When the Franks talk about their mountain, they talk about the "Walberla", the striking table mountain east of Forchheim. The real name of the mountain massif is "Ehrenbürg".
The "Ehrenbürg" consists of the 532 m high Rodenstein and the 512 m high Walberla, which is crowned by a chapel built in the 17th century (first mentioned around 1360).
