The Petersberg at Marktbergel is a 504 m above sea level. NN high mountain on the northern edge of the Frankenhöhe and thus on the southern edge of the plain of Bad Windsheim. On the Petersberg grow three species of gentian, several orchids, the rare red-blue stone seeds, cat paw, rattling pot, Immenblatt, Turkenbund lilies, dyer's camomile u.v.m.
In the area of the Petersberg and the Frankenhöhe, more than 700 plant species are registered in the measuring table sheet. twice as much as on average Mittelfrankens on the same area. Also some rare species have retreated to Petersberg. So you can often watch the swallowtail or find the toad or the stag beetle. You hear the wryneck, the woodlark and the field-whistle call and see the Red-backed Shrike sitting.
On the approximately 3.5 km long, eventful but sometimes troublesome way (from station 5 is recommended sturdy footwear) are visited all the habitats of Petersberg and explained in 15 stations on colorful panels and made tangible (including Heckentunnel, weather station, summit stone) , The Petersberg is also a "fabulous" mountain. There are some legends; so u.a. the legend of the treasure in Petersberg and the legend of the underground passage from the church of St. Kilian in Marktbergel to Petersberg. In the high Middle Ages, he became more and more the center of witch superstition. Against this superstition, the church built around 1350 a chapel on the top. It had two turrets and was dedicated to the two strongest apostles Peter and Paul.
