딩켈스뷜‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪2‬개의 산 정상

There is no view, the climb is muddy, but otherwise it's fine.

The gradient is quite even and without ramps

approx. 40m uphill and back down again! 😍🥰😘

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 kiosk on the Hesselberg is open on Saturdays from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sundays from 12.30 p.m. to 6 p.m. If you want to go up to the summit cross, you have to walk the last 50 meters. At least racing bikes are closed at the kiosk!

Highest point in Franconia. The ascent is worth it.

Grandiose view, appealing climb

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.
