Rock massif of the Glatzenstein. Below the lookout rock there is a cave that was already used in prehistoric times. From the viewing platform you can enjoy a wonderful view that makes you forget the hardship of the ascent.

Hiking

A really beautiful place with an extreme view over the Nuremberg area and facing west. The Glatzenstein is ideal for watching one or two wonderful sunsets.

Hiking

Nice vantage point with a little less hustle and bustle than at the summit cross. There is a rest area with a table and benches nearby
