Bolberg

Bolberg is a mountain summit in the Swabian Jura that rises to about 881 meters and is covered with extensive forests. Its slopes feature limestone formations that support various hiking routes and trails throughout the area.

Bolberg formed during the Jurassic period millions of years ago through deposits of marine sediment in an ancient sea. This geological history continues to shape the mountain's composition and the surrounding landscape of the Swabian Jura.

The mountain draws regular visitors from nearby towns who use it as a familiar outdoor destination throughout the year. It holds meaning as a local landmark where people reconnect with nature and maintain their hiking traditions.

The mountain can be reached by marked trails from various starting points, including from a parking area near Weil im Schönbuch. Visitors should wear proper footwear and be prepared for changing weather conditions, as the paths are hilly and sometimes slippery.

The limestone layers of the mountain contain fossils of ancient marine creatures from the Jurassic period that can be spotted by visitors. This makes the summit a fascinating location for those interested in paleontology or learning about the geological past.
