The Steinerner Mann monument is located on the northeast flank of the Dürrenberg at an altitude of around 610 m . Below this is a geotope at a height of 532 m along a stream, where several well-preserved small sinter basins made of limestone and sandstone have formed over a length of around 100 m . On the north flank is the source of the Altmühl tributary Meinheimer Mühlbach , which flows into the Altmühltal in the east, and its tributary Wolfsbronner Mühlbach rises on the east flank . The geotope Steinerne Rinne near Wolfsbronn is located about 1.6 km southeast of the summit on a steep drop from 550 to 495 m .

Aside from an area of its high elevations close to the peaks, there are also those of the Fauna-Flora-Habitat- Area Trauf of the southern Franconian Jura (FFH no. 6833-371; 43.24 km²).
history
The area around the Dürrenberg and on its flanks has been inhabited for a long time, as evidenced by a stone building, a path from early history and the medieval Buschel castle stables .
Facilities
A transmission tower stands a little west of the summit of the Dürrenberg . The Hahnenkamm barracks used to be located on the north-west flank of the mountain , a barracks of the Bundeswehr built in the 1970s to strengthen the local economy , which was closed as part of the Bundeswehr reform in 2003.
Traffic and walking
To the west past the Dürrenberg leads through Heidenheim State Road 2218 , from which State Road 2384 branches off to the northwest of the village . The latter runs over the north-western high elevations of the mountain predominantly to the east to the state road 2230 leading north-east past Meinheim . From there, the district road WUG 34 leads past Wolfsbronn southwest to Degersheim, where it meets the St 2218, which runs over the Hörlesbuck to Heidenheim. Thus the mountain can be avoided. For example, starting at these roads, this can be hiked on mostly forest trails and paths. The European long-distance hiking trail E8 leads west to southwest past the mountain through Heidenheim .
