マロルツヴァイザックの絶景の山頂・トップ9

A journey into history with lots of information on the panels.

At 512.2 m above sea level, the Nassacher Höhe is the highest mountain in the Haßberge mountain range on the Rennweg in the Haßberge district of Bavaria. It is located in the Franconian Haßberge Nature Park above Nassach, a district of Aidhausen. The summit lies within the municipality of Hofheim in Lower Franconia.

The ruins of Bramberg Castle are located within the Haßberge Nature Park on the summit of the 494.3-meter-high Bramberg, an extinct volcanic cone of the Heldburg Gangschar, approximately 2 kilometers northwest of the village of Bramberg, a western district of Ebern, and about 5 kilometers (as the crow flies) northeast of the city of Königsberg in Bavaria. It is surrounded by the Goßmannsdorf Forest. Source and further information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Bramberg_(Ha%C3%9Fberge)

On the path leading up to Heldburg Fortress in Thuringia, you'll eventually come across a linden tree split in two. A sign is attached to the hollow of this tree, and I'd like to tell you about it now: "Castle Linden of Heldburg Fortress – Large-leaved Summer Linden. Wanderer, pause! Read my story here: In 1791, I was planted by the then Ducal Court Secretary, Johann Daniel Bechmann (1768-1826), from Heldburg. That's why I was also called the Bechmann Linden. Around 1960, lightning destroyed my beautiful crown and split the trunk. Duke George II of Saxe-Meiningen (1826-1914) and his wife, Baroness von Heldburg (1839-1923), often lingered in the shade of its spreading branches when they resided here at the fortress during the summer months."

A completely normal mountain where a radio mast stands. Not 300 meters further is the Raueneck ruins

Directly on Rennweg

The 867 meter high Bleßberg summit with its observation tower, newly built in 1997, offers a unique view of Franconia, the Fichtel Mountains, the Rhön and the Thuringian Forest. On the horizon you can see the striking contours of the Staffelstein near Lichtenfels, the Vierzehnheiligen pilgrimage church, the Veste Coburg, almost within reach, and a silhouette of the Banz monastery. The Bleßberg plateau can be reached on well-developed hiking trails from all directions and during the day by car directly from the B 281 near the Werraquelle Siegmundsburg. We recommend the short, steep climb starting from the Itzquelle Stelzen and a hike along the historic border path below the Siegmundsburg Werraquelle. The hiking trails are groomed in winter using modern cross-country skiing technology, so a visit to this snow-sure area is worthwhile even in winter. The observation tower and the hiking lodge are open all year round. Source:https://www.stadt-eisfel

The Helene castle restaurant has now opened and welcomes its guests. From the terrace you have a great view of the Gleichbergen, the Straufhain and the Henneberger Warte near Bad Rodach. The pictures were taken from the terrace around the new building. It's open Wednesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., good to know.
