    A nice view from the built platform on a rock. The small detour is worthwhile and is not quite as crowded.

      A small staircase with a wonderful view from the viewing platform 😍.
      On the south side of the large, isolated rock is the inscription:
      Kaiser-Wilhelms-Felsen
      1797-1897

        This rock was consecrated in 1897 to commemorate the centenary of Kaiser Wilhelm I's birth. Consul Ida Schmid from Hamburg donated the funds for “making it accessible” and whatever else was needed to organize the celebration. Ms. Schmid came from a family in Wunsiedel, who took great interest in the development of the Luisenburg complex.

        From here you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Röslatal to Wunsiedel and Bad Alexandersbad.
