Lichtenstein castle ruins with viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The castle ruins tower high above the town of Pommelsbrunn. A trip to the vantage point is definitely worth it, because the view of the town and the Nuremberg region is simply fantastic.

Leitenberg summit (616 m) with summit logbook

Highlight • Summit

Summit unfortunately without a view, but with a summit book. A very nice trail or hiking trail to be walked leads here to the highest point of the Leitenberg at 616m. Don't forget the entry in the summit book 😉.

Bastei Viewpoint (Zankelstein), Pommelsbrunn

Highlight • Viewpoint

The entire mountain range from the Bastei over the Zankelstein further east is absolutely worth a trip. You can actually only get to the benches with a bit of agility. It is very beautiful up there in autumn too.

St. Lawrence's Church, Pommelsbrunn

Highlight • Religious Site

Nice church from the 14th century. The way the church looks today, inside and outside, it was built through structural changes in the years 1693 and 1726 to 1731.

Pommelsbrunn Historic Town Centre

Highlight • Historical Site

Small but beautiful town center, with a bakery, ATM and the local museum. Worth seeing are the church, the former judge's house with local chronicle and the fountain in front of the museum.
