Reisberg

Reisberg is a mountain summit in the Franconian Jura range located in Upper Franconia, reaching approximately 554 meters in elevation. The peak sits within a limestone landscape crisscrossed by marked hiking routes that connect to nearby towns and villages.

During the Jurassic period, this region lay beneath a shallow sea where limestone deposits accumulated, shaping the foundation of the mountain range. The geological processes of that ancient time continue to define the rocky landscape visible today.

The area draws regular hikers who have developed a strong connection to the trails and landscape over time. This place plays an important role in the outdoor activities of people living nearby.

You can reach the summit using marked trails that begin from several nearby starting points and remain accessible throughout the year. Parking is available at multiple entry points where you can begin hiking routes of varying difficulty.

On clear days, the spires of Bamberg Cathedral are visible on the distant horizon, creating an unexpected connection to a historic city far below. This distant landmark helps hikers understand their position within the broader regional landscape.
