レッキンゲンの絶景の山頂・トップ5

The gradient is quite even and without ramps

On weekends, when the weather is nice, there are often lively excursions. If you want to have a clear path for the descent, it is better to head for the Hesselberg during the week.

The Hesselberg is 689.4 m above sea level. NHN the highest elevation in Middle Franconia. It is 4 km northwest of Wassertrüdingen.

Beautiful view of the floodplains of the Wörnitz and the Hesselberg.

As a witness mountain (a single mountain in a layered landscape) of the Franconian Jura, the Hesselberg is geologically closely related to the Staffelberg (Lichtenfels district) or the Walberla (Forchheim district). The Hesselberg also has a Nazi past, like so many other things. During the Nazi era, the Franconian Gauleiter Julius Streicher made the Hesselberg a political meeting place for the National Socialists. After the NSDAP came to power, party rallies developed into the Franconian Days, which were held annually until 1939. Alongside the Nuremberg Party Rallies, these were the largest Nazi rallies in Franconia, with up to 100,000 people in attendance. Evidence from this period can no longer be found on the Hesselberg today. Since 1951, the Hesselberg has been in church hands and is, among other things, the venue for the Bavarian Evangelical Church Congress.

You can get a stamp here on the summit if you have climbed the Hesselberg. The view is mesmerizing. In good weather you can sometimes even see the Alps. Definitely worth hiking up.

Here, too, you can start a tour well

Nice, quiet area 🙂
