The Birkholz lift near Heinersreuth is history. The lift's operators, the von Lerchenfeld family, closed in 2022. Climate change makes lift operation impossible in locations like Heinersreuth, they explained. This means that alpine skiing in the Kulmbach district is finally over. The Birkholz lift has existed since 1973.
