Radspitze

Radspitze is a mountain of approximately 678 meters elevation in the Franconian Forest with dense forest coverage and rocky formations along its slopes. The landscape alternates between forested areas and rocky sections that shape the terrain throughout.

The mountain has served as a reference point for the area since medieval times when the nearby village of Marktrodach was established. This long connection to human settlement makes it an established landmark for the region.

The mountain draws regular visitors from surrounding communities who gather to hike and observe the forest environment. These traditions connect local people to the landscape in a way that shapes how the area is used today.

Marked hiking trails from the village of Marktrodach lead up the mountain and provide good access for visitors of various skill levels. On clear days the routes offer rewarding views across the surrounding Upper Franconia landscape.

An observation tower sits at the summit offering 360-degree views across Upper Franconia and toward distant mountain ranges. This tower allows visitors to fully grasp the scale of the landscape on clear days.
