Landscape protection area (LSG-00372.01) Biotope Geotope designated 1985, with a size of 1475.5ha BIOTOP Hesselberg: The Hesselberg is a retreat for numerous rare and protected plant and animal species. Due to the special location and geology, rare plants such as silver thistle, thyme, gentian or pasque flower can grow. With its extensive dry grass slopes and the juniper heather, the Hesselberg offers a refuge for numerous animals. ... The slopes of the Hesselberg have been grazed extensively for centuries. Without the herds of sheep (Hesselberg lamb), the flowering and unfertilized poor meadows would quickly have overgrown. The abundance of herbs on the Hesselberger Hutungen provides a healthy and formative nutritional basis for the Hesselberg lamb. ... The so-called mountain witch, a particularly rare species of butterfly, has a prominent position in the animal world. GEOTOP Hesselberg: THE ZEUGENBERG AS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GEOTOPES IN BAVARIA The Hesselberg was named one of "Bavaria's most beautiful geotopes" by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment. It is one of the most important geological natural wonders of Bavaria. Its summit made of Malm limestone bears witness to the formerly much larger area of the Franconian Alb plateau, hence the name Zeugenberg. The Hesselberg towers over its surrounding area by more than 200 meters. ORIGIN The Hesselberg owes its origin to its special location in the area of a shallow tectonic basin and the phenomenon of "relief reversal". While the rocks outside the hollow were removed over the course of millions of years, those inside the hollow remained protected longer. The Hesselberg includes the entire layered spatula from the Lias to the Malm. The sedimentary rocks were formed in the Jurassic Sea. The Hesselberg is therefore older than the Alps. https://www.hesselberg.de/ https://www.lfu.bayern.de/geologie/bayerns_schoenste_geotope/28/

The ascent is worthwhile with an impressive view. The artistic summit cross marks the highest point of the Wachtlerberg.
