Hesselberg Summit Trail

Highlight • Trail

Up here on the Hesselberg the paths are partly very soft, but very comfortable to walk!

View of Röckingen

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

View of Gerolfingen and Aufkirchen

Highlight • Viewpoint

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).

Wonderful tour with wonderful friends.

Really beautiful hike with varied nature and great views - be sure to take a picnic and enjoy.

There are numerous benches along the many paths - amazingly. The paths are well signposted and in good condition.

With the beautiful weather we finally went to Hesselberg today. Sun ☀️ and fog 🌫️ conjured up a mystical atmosphere on the mountain and the model airplanes floated above the clouds. ✈️🌫️ Another highlight was the beautiful long linden tree avenue downhill. 🌳💚🌳

Always a nice round, up and down the mountain.
The tour from the hiking car park is about 10 km.
Unfortunately it didn't record the first few km.
