Großer Hansgörgl

Großer Hansgörgl is a mountain summit in the Franconian Jura, rising to 601 meters and located in Nürnberger Land district. The peak sits within a landscape of rolling forested slopes typical of this region.

The mountain area contains archaeological remains from the Hallstatt period, including burial mounds indicating early human settlements. These ancient traces show that people inhabited this landscape thousands of years ago.

A memorial bench with a cross at the summit honors fallen soldiers from both world wars. This site serves as a place of remembrance within the landscape that visitors encounter during their climb.

The route from the village combines different path types including asphalt, gravel, and natural trails, all suitable for regular hiking shoes. The ascent proceeds at an easy pace without steep or technically demanding sections.

Along the route stands a geological feature called Teufelsloch, a rock formation that hikers can still observe today. Despite the absence of current signage, this natural landmark remains a notable detail along the path.
