The Haidberg is on the edge of the Fichtelgebirge at 697 meters and is a striking scenic part of the Münchberg gneiss mass. It consists of serpentinite, a green-blue rock that derives its name from the Latin word serpens = snake because the surface is similar to a snake's skin.
A geological peculiarity is the embedded magnetite, which pushes the compass needle out of its true direction even in small pieces of rock.
