ディンケルスビュールの天然記念物・トップ20

The world's longest bench made from a single trunk! Apprentices from the Ellwangen Forestry Office used a chainsaw to craft the world's longest bench from a Douglas fir tree over 130 years old. The fir tree was an impressive 48 meters tall and weighed 8.4 tons. A suitable trunk section was used to create a bench measuring exactly 30 meters and 22 centimeters.

A great place to relax. There is a Kneipp pool for treading water and a small pool for your arms. Wonderfully fresh spring water comes out of the tap WITHOUT the typical German sign "Not drinking water". There is enough space on the lawn for a picnic without being disturbed. And right at the back in the corner there is a place for open-air church services.

Great well-maintained facility. Church services and, above all, baptisms often take place here.

In addition to great views, the mountain also offers hands-on geology

The geological educational and hiking trail leads from the Schieferbruch hiking car park in Wittelshofen over the south-western ridge to the Hesselberg. There are numerous earth outcrops or quarries that show the geological peculiarities of the Hesselberg. Numerous information boards provide technical background information. The summit quarry can be a very special experience. This has been cleared of bushes in recent years as part of the refreshment of the geological educational and hiking trail and can therefore be easily walked. https://www.hesselberg-panorama.de/geologe-lehr-und-wanderpfad.html

The geological educational and hiking trail has been attracting visitors from near and far to the Hesselberg for over 40 years. But 40 years also represent a period in which a lot can change. Therefore, it was high time to renew the nature trail. “15 new windows into the history of the earth” provide information about the geology around the Hesselberg over a 3 km route. Information boards, earth outcrops and fossils appeal in a variety of ways to nature lovers, hikers as well as students and school classes. With a walking time of approx. 1.5 hours, there is a lot to discover and see on the tour around and on the Hesselberg. Source: https://www.lpv-mittelfranken.de/geologen-lehrpfad-am-hesselberg.html

Chilled corner with seating blocks for a break.

It's so beautiful on the Hesselberg that you can't put it into words
