While hiking through orchards, slope forests, and dry grasslands, we learn about the geology of the highest mountain in Middle Franconia (689m above sea level) through outcrops and information signs. The roof surface of the witness mountain allows us to take a walk around the Easter Meadow. We enjoy a magnificent panoramic view over the landscape spreading out below. Those interested in biology can admire rare species of the dry grasslands, such as the red-winged desert grasshopper or the spring gentian. The descent leads us through the juniper heath, past a hillside spring and a landscape of orchards and fields back to the parking lot.

Some call it the "Franconian Kilimanjaro." The Hesselberg near Wassertrüdingen is not quite that massive. However, with its 689 meters in height amidst an otherwise quite flat landscape, it already appears quite impressive. After all, it carries the honorable title "Highest Mountain in Middle Franconia," gives its name to an entire recreational region, and is counted among Bavaria's most beautiful geotopes. Apart from the impressive view offered from the summit and the plateau, you will find a particularly diverse vegetation at this legendary place. Poor grassland slopes and orchard meadows alternate with dense forest patches, providing the perfect basis for an entertaining hike.

Along the circular route, which partly follows Circular Hiking Trail 1, information boards provide details about the nature, history, and geology of the mountain, which is protected as a landscape due to its diverse plant life and extensive dry grasslands.
