    Anton Wiede, the owner of the Rosenthal paper mill in Blankenstein, had this tower built in 1903. His factory was celebrating its 20th anniversary at the time.
    From the top, you have a beautiful view of Blankenstein and the Franconian Forest.

    Mountain biking

    The observation tower on the 549 meter high Wolfstein above the bank of the Saale offers a wonderful view of the Höllental, the Lichtenberg castle ruins and the Saale valley and Blankenberg. It can be reached on foot via various hiking trails. The company founder Anton Wiede, like so much in this area, also had the 18.5 m high observation tower built. The tower is freely accessible, the viewing platform is 15m high. frankenwald-tourismus.de/de/poi/detail/595260c3975aaf0aba5a1fb1
