Schellenberg, Mountain summit in Franconian Alb, Germany
The Schellenberg rises to 494.5 meters above sea level, featuring exposed limestone formations and clear views across the Bavarian landscape.
The mountain holds archaeological evidence of human settlements dating back 7,000 years, with remains from Neolithic communities found on its plateau.
The summit cross, constructed in 1964 by local residents, stands as a memorial to soldiers from both World Wars and represents regional heritage.
Multiple marked trails lead to the summit, with the Keltensteig path offering a direct but steep route through natural geological formations.
The mountain served as a strategic surveying point in 1801 when Napoleonic forces built a 33-meter wooden tower for military mapping purposes.
