On the high plateau at Staffelberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The landscape between Staffelberg, Spitzberg and Lerchenberg is always worth a detour. Because every season the flora offers a completely new picture: from flowering meadows and fields with bright sunflowers to short grasses and individual bushes. The plateau is a feast for the eyes in both summer and winter.

Staffelberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view over large parts of the Bad Staffelsteiner and Lichtenfelser area. With a small hospitality hut and sufficient seating outside. Several great paths up and down and connection to the surrounding forests.

Staffelsteiner Kreuz

Highlight • Monument

The Staffelstein Cross is a well-known landmark on the Staffelberg, a prominent hill in the Franconian region of Bavaria, Germany. Known for its stunning panoramic views, the Staffelberg is a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. The Staffelstein Cross is one of several crosses on the hill, often called "patriarchal crosses" or weather crosses, facing each cardinal direction.

Adelgundis Chapel on the Staffelberg

Highlight • Religious Site

The first Adelgundis chapel on the Staffelberg was destroyed during the Peasant Wars; today's chapel was consecrated in 1654. A hermit's hermitage was then built, which was replaced by a new building at the end of the 19th century. Today the hermitage, which was a hermit accommodation until the beginning of the 20th century, serves as a restaurant. One of the residents, the hermit Ivo Hennemann, became famous through Victor von Scheffel's "Frankenlied". Adelgundis, the namesake of the chapel, is regarded in the Catholic Church as an emergency helper in the event of serious illness and danger; she died at the end of the seventh century as the abbess of one Monastery in France.
