Kordigast, Natural rock formation in Altenkunstadt, Germany.
Kordigast is a striking rock formation near Altenkunstadt featuring two peaks and steep sides that surround a high plateau. The structure consists of rising stone that dominates the landscape and is clearly visible to hikers.
The area was inhabited in ancient times, as shown by archaeological finds from the 4th and 5th centuries BC. These early traces suggest that the formation has long served as a living space and possibly as a place of refuge.
The hermitage on the mountain now functions as a meditation center and draws visitors seeking to connect nature with inner reflection. This place holds special meaning for the region as a space for quiet and contemplation within the Franconian landscape.
Multiple marked trails lead up to the plateau and summit. When planning a visit, keep in mind that the paths vary in difficulty, allowing visitors to choose a suitable route based on their fitness level.
From the top, visitors can enjoy a wide panoramic view across the Obermaintal valley that reveals several famous sites of the region at once. These views show how the formation fits into a larger landscape filled with historical places.
