Rock massif of the Glatzenstein. Below the lookout rock there is a cave that was already used in prehistoric times. From the viewing platform you can enjoy a wonderful view that makes you forget the hardship of the ascent.

Großer Hansgörgl Summit Cross

Highlight • Summit

A vantage point does not exist on the Hansgörgel (or Hansgörgl), but a summit cross and some rocks to rumklettern. Around the Hansgörgel summit there are beautiful narrow trails, so you can recommend a trip to this mountain.

In addition to highlights like the fortress (check opening hours), the Glatzstein with its wonderful view of Nuremberg, and the Grosser Hans-Görgel, there are also some very beautiful paths and trails. Sometimes flowing, other times quite steep.

Certainly one of the most popular trails here on Komoot, and for good reason. A beautiful climb to Rothenberg Fortress, past a beautiful pond. It's a great place to rest, then a straightforward descent and a somewhat steeper climb to Glatzenstein. Nothing to do today, and despite the light haze, a magnificent view of (??) Marloffstein, Moritzberg, and the Nuremberg …
