Großer Kornberg, Mountain summit in Fichtel Mountains, Germany.
The 827-meter granite mountain features a wooded ridge and stands as a prominent northeastern cornerstone of the Fichtel Mountains range.
First documented in 1317 as Kurnberg, the mountain's name derives from Middle High German word 'Kurn', referring to a mill located on its slopes.
The mountain forms part of the Fränkischer Gebirgsweg trail system, connecting seventeen major peaks across the Bavarian natural landscape.
Multiple hiking paths lead to the summit, where visitors can climb the Schönburg Watchtower for views of the surrounding Fichtelgebirge region.
The mountain contains abandoned granite quarries that display different geological layers, from grainy structures at the base to fine-grained formations at higher elevations.
