Geographical location
The Kemitzenstein is located in the Franconian Switzerland-Veldenstein Forest Nature Park between the villages of Kümmersreuth , a south-eastern part of Bad Staffelstein, in the south-west and Rothmannsthal in the east, a south-south-east part of Lichtenfels ; however, only the lower areas of its eastern and northeastern flanks belong to Lichtenfels.
The Bavarian State Road 2204 leads southwest past the Kemitzenstein through Kümmersreuth. Coming from the village, the wooded mountain can be reached on foot on the "Kemitzenweg" in about 10 to 15 minutes.
history
On the Kemitzenstein there were clay pots that are probably of Germanic origin. Since the place is not suitable for settlement, it is assumed that it was used as a place of worship in earlier times.

useful information

At the Kemitzenstein there is a house for friends of nature ; a few meters to the west there is a survey point ( 575.5 m above sea level ). There is a dolomite quarry on its western foothills "Mondstein" ( 554.6 m above sea level ) .
