Peterlesstein Magnet Mountain

One of the "magnetic mountains" of the Franconian Forest! Here compass needles play crazy. In addition, the Peterlesstein is located in a beautiful pine forest and can be reached via an idyllic path.

Nice destination located above the mirror ponds. Short, narrow ascent is rewarded with a wonderful view and an idyllic place to rest

The 589 m high Peterlesstein is one of the largest remaining serpentinite deposits in Germany and is home to a very rare, valuable flora. Because the serpentinite was used for the production of crushed stone and earlier also as heat stone, healing stone and for jewelry production, serpentinite sites are very rare today.
The name "Peterlesstein" goes back to the earlier processing of the conspicuous green serpentinite into gemstones and glass beads, the so-called "Paterin".
