Again and again there is a wonderful view of the surrounding area, on a clear day you can see as far as the Alps. Here you can see Rockingen, great.

The bench "Ausblick Wilhelmsstein" is a few meters away from the "Schwedenstein/Wilhelmstein" and summit car park. With the Wilhelmsstein, this is probably the first point of contact for most visitors …

Hesselberg Summit

Highlight • Summit

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).

April 13, 2024,R023AN - Wassertrüdingen: "Hesselberg-Tour"

Tour link: fraenkisches-seenland.de/wege/hesselberg-tour-3035

A quick 4-hour morning tour with a city tour and a visit to the LGA grounds in wonderful, not too hot weather quickly turns into a night hike. But that's what happens when you discover a lot of new things... recommended, signposted route!

Thank you @Äxel - the great photos from your winter tour were the inspiration to finally visit the Hesselberg 🤗
So today we went to Wassertrüdingen to climb the highest mountain in Middle Franconia (689 m). After the journey by 🚆 would have been a bit complicated, the 🚘 had to do it. The ☀️, which had been laughing this …

July 7, 2024,44/24 - Hesselberg-Tour 💚 von Wassertrüdingen 🌫

I had transferred the tour from the following link as a GPX file to Komoot:

fraenkisches-seenland.de/wege/hesselberg-tour-3035

But the tour ended up going a little differently because we made a detour to Klingenweiherpark out of curiosity. From there we took a different route, found on the Komoot map, until we were back on the planned signposted route.

If you really want to get to the top of us in Middle Franconia, the best way to do it is from the very top...so let's get up to the highest mountain in our administrative district, the Hesselberg at 689 m.

The hiking trail from Wassertrüdingen to Hesselberg is marked with a blue line on a white background. On the way back you can follow the 10 via Röckingen. It is worth stopping off at "Zum Brui" in Obermögersheim afterwards - delicious Schaschlick is always available on Saturdays and beer from Wettelsheim every day 😉

March 25, 2024,Wassertrüdingen 》 19./2024 ⛩️⛰️🗼🖼 Altstadt & Hesselberg

To start my pre-Easter holiday week, I ended up in Wassertrüdigen (Ansbach/Middle Franconia district) this afternoon in the best weather conditions, where I not only explored the small but beautiful old town (here I particularly enjoyed the medieval city gate "Törle") ), primarily had in mind climbing the Hesselberg (which at 689 meters is the highest mountain in Middle Franconia). …
