Nesselberg Rock Formations and Viewpoint

Highlight • Natural Monument

On the east side of the Nesselberg there are miniature works of art.
The variety and beauty of the washings created by wind and weather are impressive.

For me a top highlight of the Rimbachsteig and a miracle of nature !!!

Nesselberg

Highlight • Natural Monument

At the lower Nesselbergfels you have from the front plateau a beautiful panoramic view, but stands on the upper part of the rock, a new rest bench with similar beautiful views.

Nesselberg South Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lookout point on the Nesselberg with pretty bench with views south over Schwanheim. Thanks to the trees, it is also a bit shady here.

Hühnerstein Summit and Access Ladder

Highlight • Summit

The gigantic view alone makes it worth climbing up the ladder (and down again, of course).

Wolfshorn — Highest point on the Rimbachsteig

Highlight • Summit

There is really nothing to see or discover at this highlight.
Only the way there and back is nice, as it is a small path parallel to the wider "normal route".
