The Nußhardt is 972  m above sea level. NHN a mountain in the Fichtelgebirge in northeast Bavaria .

It is a characteristic rocky summit of the Fichtelgebirge mountains made of coarse-grained core granite G3 and eye gneiss at the southeast end. The 5.5 hectare summit area with the Blockmeer and rock castle is  under nature protection. The Nusshardt summit was included in the geotope directory of the Bavarian State Office for the Environment under No. 472R013.

location

The Nußhardt is located on the FGV main hiking trail Höhenweg between the FGV accommodation facility Seehaus and the Schneeberg . The ascent is supervised by the local FGV group in Vordorf .

The watershed between the Danube Elbe and the Rhine is nearby.

Fabulous

There are eight small bowl-shaped hollows in the granite, so-called druid bowls, on the lookout rock. The ancestors believed that these were sacrificial dishes for pagan cult activities. Today we know that there are special weathering forms in the granite. The low entrance of the Nusshardtstube , an approximately 50 meter long covered cave, is located on the south side of the rock group.

Surname

In the land book of the Berneck office in 1536 , the Nusshardt appears as "Nusser", also during a margravial inspection of the forest in 1536. The spelling in documents and literature is different: "Nusser", "Nosser", "Nusshardt".

Ascent system

As early as 1880, the Fichtelgebirge section of the German-Austrian Alpine Club built the first stairs to the highest point of the Nusshardtfelsen "for a better view" of Schneeberg , Ochsenkopf , Fichtelsee , Frankenjura and Kemnather Land .

Goethe and the Nusshardt

The mountain summit was probably visited by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in 1785. On July 1st, Goethe and his companions hiked from Wunsiedel via Leupoldsdorf and the Seehaus (at that time colliery) to the Ochsenkopf. On the way back they came over the Nusshardt, before returning to Wunsiedel via Vordorfermühle. Travel companion Karl Ludwig von Knebel wrote in his diary: “The most excellent granite building of broad, larger and smaller, horizontal dimensions, with vertical splits in between, is there, and may only be surpassed by the one on the Rudolphstein, to which we, however, we ourselves no longer dared to go because violent thunderstorms kept half of the sky under siege and could have blocked the long way home ”.
