Hiking

At 792 meters, the fourth-highest peak in the Franconian Forest may be unspectacular, but it does offer a wonderful rest area. The Bobengrün Franconian Forest Association inaugurated a new covered seating area with a summit register in September 2024 to raise awareness of the mountain.

Hiking

At 729.2m, the Spitzberg is the fourth highest mountain in the Franconian Forest after Döbraberg, Wetzstein and Schneidberg. Nevertheless, the summit is rather unspectacular, but has a small bench to catch your breath. The route from the northeast is quite steep, if you like it more comfortable, choose the southern route for the ascent.

Mountain biking

At 729.2m, the Spitzberg is the fourth highest mountain in the Franconian Forest. At the top of the "summit" there is a small bench for a little rest and the sign with the height information. Unfortunately there is no view.
