    The Backöferle is back, great lookout tower.

      highest point in Franconia with over 1000 meters above sea level NN

      it's a shame that as a racing cyclist you can't go all the way up to the lookout tower - it's still impressive.

      P.S. I recently saw on youtube that Andi Dreitz went up 23 times (!!!) in one go - crazy ...

        The road surface from Schneebergstraße to the summit is very rough.
