The Gehülzer Leuchtkreuz stands at the highest point of the old B 303 between Kronach and Mitwitz.

It's a pass near quaeldich.de and has five different access roads from the Kronach side. Each one more beautiful and challenging than the last. 😊😊

From the Mitwitz side, the scenic Burgstaller Berg climbs up here in many beautiful curves.

The traffic congestion at the Gehülzer Leuchtkreuz has thankfully decreased significantly compared to earlier times. The B 303, which used to pass here, has been relocated further south and now runs via Beikheim. Above all, there are no more trucks.

Nevertheless, you should think twice about driving up the road from Mitwitz on a Monday morning.

Because they're still there: the incorrigible speedsters and morning rushers who thunder up here at senselessly high speeds.

From Mitwitz you can take a beautiful side route to Burgstall.
