포텐슈타인‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산 정상

Climbing rocks in the forest and viewing platform

The Neubürg table mountain is the second highest elevation in the region at 587 meters, after the Sophienberg (593 meters). It is located in the Mistelgau municipality. The Neubürg was formed in the Jurassic period. The top layer consists of limestone, followed by Ornatenton and iron sandstone. The Neubürg is called a table mountain because it has a flat table surface instead of a dome. Due to the erosion-related formation, the Neubürg is also called an island or witness mountain. It stands like an island in the further eroded environment and "witnesses" the rock layers that previously covered the entire area.

For climbers, the name Wailing Wall says it all. Anyone who tries to dig into the tiny holes here can quickly find themselves complaining. The rock is up to seven meters high and is part of the Signal Stone.

The Sugarloaf Mountain lies at an altitude of 515 meters. The beautiful view goes on three sides: into the Wiesenttal to the west to the Walberla and almost to Forchheim, to the east the view ends in the narrow and winding valley to Streitberg, opposite the imposing Hummerstein with the Leinleitertal running north with Greifenstein Castle in the background. The summit cross was erected in 1947 as a “sign of thanks and memorial of peace” by those returning from the war.

The Hohe Warte with its weather vane was created in 2003 by many volunteers. Now, after 20 years, the red and white weather vane should be given some color again.

There is a bench just below the tower. Ideal for snacks.

A great view over Pottenstein and the surrounding area reward the ascent.

At the Festival of Lights you have a great view of the whole fire.
