These are sand dunes formed by sand drifts. They were eroded from the sandstone by glaciers during the Ice Age 10,000 years ago. The dunes are up to 40 meters high, and the area is one of the largest inland dune areas in Germany. Even without water, they are very impressive and easily accessible near Nuremberg.
