Hesselberg Paragliding 2025

The Hesselberg, at 689 meters, is the highest mountain in Middle Franconia.
The Hesselberg is a popular destination for good reason. A small road leads almost to the summit
and ends at a small parking area. From the Hesselberg, one can see far into the surrounding landscape.
On a clear day, the view even extends to the Zugspitze, 186 km away.
A short walking path leads along the summit ridge. When the weather is suitable,
paragliders launch from here and then circle in the air. The unique landscape with its
dry meadows is grazed by sheep and provides a habitat for many insects and other animals.
