    Hiking

    It is currently being talked about in Gefrees to put the old quarry back into operation. Everyone is tense.

    Hiking

    Here too, as in so many quarries in the Fichtel Mountains, granite was mined, as shown by the blasting shelter below the old quarry.
    If you come from the direction of Bischofsgrün through the forest, you do not necessarily pass the barrier (which is very easy to walk around, as it is just an old gate that only blocks the passage).
    Only on the way back, if you are careful, you can see the prohibition sign and the warning about blasting on a tree.
    Should there be dismantling again now?

    Hiking

    Every year, the "Hohe Reuth" or hill meadow is occupied by motocross athletes to hold their TRIAL.
