Aussichtsturm Hohes Kreuz

The name derives from the many caves (Oswaldhöhle, Wundershöhle, Doktorshöhle and Joke cave) which are located in the mountain. The tower is about 12 meters high.

Panoramic view of Franconian Switzerland

The lookout tower, which consists of a steel and wood construction, is 522m high and was built in 2011, replacing an older tower that previously stood here. The tower is about 12m high.The tower or the mountain has two names 'Hohler Berg' and 'Hohes Kreuz'. The name 'Hohler Berg' comes from the fact that there are numerous caves around the mountain, meaning that the mountain below is 'hollow'.

The 12m high observation tower offers a wonderful 270 degree all-round view of the Wiesenttal with the Neideck ruins, over the Aufsessal, to the Fichtelgebirge to the Ochsenkopf.

From the lookout tower you have a nice view into the distance.

Lookout tower at 522m. Great foresight! Attention because of Corona: Stairs and platform are very narrow. Many are therefore already queuing up and waiting for the predecessors to descend again.

Quiet location, very extensive view. I enjoy observation towers

Reward for the steep ascent!

This view should not be missed.

Nice view of the plateau.

From this observation tower you have a great view.

Not far from the Oswaldhöhle with a beautiful panoramic view of the country.

The distant view was missing today due to the fog and rain.

Beautiful panoramic view guaranteed. The tower stands near the Oswald cave.

The observation tower offers a beautiful view of the area on a tour of the caves.

Super nice location with great views of the valley. If you are lucky you can see the steam locomotive (we)

Great panoramic view of the surrounding area!

The Hohes Kreuz observation tower above Muggendorf and Engelhardsberg is a highlight and offers a great view of the Franconian.

Short climb and then great view.

An absolute must for everyone who passes the tower.

Good for a rest on the Neideck 1000.
Beautiful view.

Great view. all-round view. The whole thing is clouded by the cell phone mast in the immediate vicinity.

The all-round view is awesome. Definitely go up!
