It is part of the Franconian Switzerland and one of the most important landmarks in Franconia.

During the La Tène period the Celtic oppidum of Menosgada was built on the plateau of the Staffelberg.

Nowadays, it is a famous tourist attraction – not only because of the view over the Main valley.

The Staffelberg is located close to Vierzehnheiligen and the district capital of Lichtenfels.

At the foot of the hill lies the town of Bad Staffelstein.
