Hiking

The Feuerstein Observatory is located on the Lange Meile, a region in Upper Franconia, about 35 kilometers north of Nuremberg. It sits on a hill between the town of Ebermannstadt and the market town of Eggolsheim at an elevation of 499.5 meters above sea level and 500 meters south of the Burg Feuerstein airfield.

In addition to scientific astronomical observations, the public observatory is also open to interested visitors, especially amateur astronomers and students, to introduce them to the history and latest findings in the fields of astronomy and astrophysics through popular science events.
