Kornberg, Mountain summit in Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Kornberg is a mountain peak in southwestern Germany reaching 779 meters, surrounded by limestone outcrops and wide juniper heathlands. Several marked trails cross the area, leading to viewpoints and a shelter cabin for hikers.
Medieval ruins on the slopes belong to Bertaburg, a fortress that once guarded the northern region. The remains show evidence of the area's defensive role in medieval times.
Local farming traditions have shaped the landscape here, maintaining the open heathland and juniper scrub that define the region. Visitors can see how these practices keep the terrain open and prevent overgrowth of trees.
Access is via well-marked hiking trails that connect to a larger network of paths in the region. Sturdy footwear is advisable due to limestone rocks and uneven ground, and weather can change quickly.
The protected area here shelters uncommon plant communities adapted to limestone heathland, with species found nowhere else nearby. Nature enthusiasts may notice these botanical oddities if they look closely at the ground while walking.
