Petersberg

The Petersberg rises 504 meters above sea level, offering views across the upper Aischtal valley and extending toward the Rhön mountains in clear weather.

A chapel dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul stood at the summit from 1340 until its destruction during the Peasants' War, when locals reused its stones.

The mountain features an educational adventure trail spanning 3.5 kilometers, with stations explaining the local wildlife, plants, and regional ecological systems.

Two marked routes lead to the summit: the yellow trail reaches the peak, while the blue trail extends 900 meters on a barrier-free path.

The area contains 700 registered plant species, including three gentian types and multiple orchids, representing twice the average biodiversity of Central Franconia.
