    This former road boundary pillar was built here in 1907 to commemorate the last wolf killed in the Fichtelgebirge.

      Here, in 1882, the last wolf (of the past millennium) was killed in the Fichtelgebirge.

        The path to the column is attractive because it runs along soft forest and meadow paths.

          The monument has probably lost its importance soon
