A seating area along the hiking trail invites you to take a breather, and an information board explains the life and work of Dr. Köhl. Without Dr. Köhl, the extensive network of hiking trails in the Franconian Forest would likely not exist. He is the founder of the Franconian Forest Association, which now has over 9,000 members and is responsible for all hiking trails in the Franconian Forest.

Next to the memorial stone is an information panel. Dr. Köhl founded the FWV (Freiwillige Waldverein – Voluntary Forestry Association) in 1989, emerging from a section of the DAV (German Alpine Club). Thus, the FWV shares a similar origin with the neighboring FGV (Fribourg Hiking Club). He also established a first aid unit in Naila. A doctor and a doer with a passion for volunteer work.
