Coming from Kipfenberg you have a nice ascent, otherwise an equally beautiful winding descent.

a place for a selfie 😀

In the mid-1970s, the state surveying office in Munich carried out an extension of the trigonometric fixed point network. This had become necessary because of the various changes such as land consolidation, motorway expansion and road construction. In 1979, the state surveying office determined the geographic center as the focal point of the area of Bavaria in the immediate vicinity of Kipfenberg Castle.

In 1980 the boulder was erected as a landmark and the geographic center was inaugurated in a ceremony. The famous TV presenter Carolin Reiber hosted the festival program.

The entrance area of the geographic center was later redesigned in a modern way (gabion gate).

In October 2016, the place was converted into an open meeting place with seating and an information board.
