From here, you have a beautiful view of the municipality of Kalchreuth. The town lies at the foothills of the Franconian Alb. If you need a bite to eat, you'll find a small selection of places to stop for refreshments in the village.

Beautiful views of Nuremberg. Benches invite you to linger—you'll be happy to take a seat here.

The sign says that wild boars once built their breeding den here. The stone is meant to remind us of this. There is a bench right next to it.
