    Always very impressive when you stand on top of the wooden structure. The all-round view is just wonderful. And no, there is nothing to stop by 😎for nature and a lot of silence when you are alone there.

        The Schneeberg in the Fichtelgebirge is a good thousand, the height: 1051 meters and thus the highest mountain in Franconia. At the summit is the "Backöfele", it is said because the inhabitants of the surrounding villages fled here during the Thirty Years' War and built an oven and baked bread 🍞🤔.
