At an altitude of 946 meters, the Oberpfalz tower offers an ingenious panoramic view of the region. In good weather you can see all the way to the Bavarian Forest! Ideal for taking a break and enjoying the view.

The plate in the Bavarian district of Tirschenreuth is with 946 meters the highest mountain in the Steinwald, a mighty granite back in the southern Fichtelgebirge. The striking Oberpfalz tower towers on the summit. It can be climbed over 150 steps and offers wide views of the surrounding area, in good weather even the Saxon Erzgebirge and the Bavarian Forest can be seen.
