From the Seigelstein lookout rock near Teuchatz you have a beautiful view of the upper Leinleiter valley. In good weather you can even see Greifenstein Castle from the Seigelstein, as well as Heiligenstadt and Kreuzstein. In addition, the view extends to Neubürg and the Fichtel Mountains. The only downside: a high-voltage line runs just below the rocks. However, if the path to the Seigelstein is too steep for you (very slippery when wet), you can also take a detour around it.

The Seigelstein, located at 548 meters above sea level, is a castle stable on which there used to be a fortification, for the first time in the late Neolithic period.There is a lot to explore here from all sides and you have a beautiful view as far as Greifenstein Castle.

Imposing rocky cliffs from which you can enjoy a wonderful view. Finds attest to an early settlement history of the striking mountain ridge.
