Many hikers have been amazed by this Buddha in the middle of the forest. The stone figure was erected in 2013 by Robert Dumler and Roland Benker from Marktredwitz on their forest property. The Buddha was made in Indonesia and purchased from a German stone specialist company. The stone figure weighs 336 kilos. It is said to be a "young Buddha".

Not so easy to find, but once you're there it's worth seeing; you can tell by the little figurines left lying around that a lot of people have already visited it.
