    The Kohlberg (632 m above sea level) south of Arzberg is also called the Sugarloaf. The 32 m high Waldenfelswarte observation tower offers a wonderful view of the surrounding area. Binoculars and panoramic overviews that can be used free of charge help with orientation. The Waldenfelswarte is the highest observation tower in the Fichtel Mountains.

      The hut is unfortunately not permanently farmed. A wonderful corner for trails.

        The Waldenfelswarte observation tower and a non-managed shelter belonging to the Fichtelgebirge Association have stood on the Kohlberg summit since 1961.
        In spring 2017, the lookout tower was raised from its original height of 20 m to 32 m with a new foundation and a new base tower due to severe obstruction to the view caused by tree growth. This makes the Waldenfelswarte one of the highest observation towers in the Fichtelgebirge.
        From the tower, in good weather, it is possible to see the Czech Republic, the Vogtland and even parts of the Ore Mountains.
