With a height of 637 m, the Hohe Reuth between Spies, Schermshöhe and Riegelstein is the highest elevation in Franconian Switzerland. The "Kleine Kulm" near Pegnitz is in second place with a height of 626 m (data: Bavarian surveying office). The Riegelstein telecommunications tower is located on the summit plateau of the Hohe Reuth.

Hiking

The Hohe Reute rock face is one of the most popular climbing spots in the entire Franconian Switzerland. In the summer you will always find climbers who try the old and new routes.
