Zankelstein Viewpoint and Rock Formation

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very nice trails lead to the Zankelstein. The hard work is rewarded with a wonderful view, in good weather that extends as far as Nuremberg. A panorama pane helps with orientation.

Bastei Viewpoint (Zankelstein), Pommelsbrunn

Highlight • Viewpoint

The entire mountain range from the Bastei over the Zankelstein further east is absolutely worth a trip. You can actually only get to the benches with a bit of agility. It is very beautiful up there in autumn too.

November 24, 2024,Bastei und Zankelstein – Blick von Bürtel Runde von Pommelsbrunn

Surprisingly, we still came across some remnants of snow. But the temperature was anything but wintery. We were late, so the last hour was almost like a night hike, and the terrain was impassable in places.

Even at Easter, there were only a few hikers on the trail. Beautiful beech forests, good terrain for hiking. Refreshments are available in Pommelsbrunn, where there is also a train station (regional trains).
