ホフの絶景の山頂・トップ18

The Frankenwarte (Frankenwarte) stands atop the 679-meter-high Hirschhügel (Hirschhügel). The eight-and-a-half-meter-high, round stone tower offers a panoramic view to the northeast, to the edge of the Höllental valley, to Lichtenberg and Bad Steben, and to the west to the hills near Nordhalben. To the south, Geroldsgrün, the 729-meter-high Spitzberg, and the 758-meter-high Schneidberg can be seen, and hidden behind them, the highest peak in the Franconian Forest, the 794-meter-high Döbraberg. To the southeast, the view extends to the Fichtel Mountains. The Frankenwarte was built and is maintained by the Franconian Forest Association. Plans to build an observation tower on the hill existed as early as 1930. However, the Frankenwarte was not inaugurated until August 12, 1951. In 2020, panoramic panels were installed on the parapet of the viewing platform, illustrating the towns and landscape features visible from here.

A beautiful little peak in the forest with benches and a summit cross. The altitude information is a bit confusing. The Hauknock is marked with 691 above sea level, while the sign right next to it says 675 above sea level.

Yes, you can enjoy the peace and quiet here. I almost drove past it

The trekking campsite is just a few meters below the summit plateau on the south-west side of the Döbra (near the mountain rescue hut). Furnishing: • 4 floor areas for 1 tent each • Fire pit with seating • Firewood supply • Drinks box • Water barrel (only service water, NO drinking water!) • Weather-protected outdoor toilet.

The Haidberg is on the edge of the Fichtelgebirge at 697 meters and is a striking scenic part of the Münchberg gneiss mass. It consists of serpentinite, a green-blue rock that derives its name from the Latin word serpens = snake because the surface is similar to a snake's skin. A geological peculiarity is the embedded magnetite, which pushes the compass needle out of its true direction even in small pieces of rock.

Pretty “summit” with a cozy bench to rest on. Unfortunately, this part of the forest is also affected by emergency clearing...

This trekking site is located directly on the Döbraberg, the highest mountain in the Franconian Forest, on the outskirts of the town of Schwarzenbach a.Wald. It is only a few meters below the summit plateau on the south-west side (sunset!) and offers a wonderful view. The FrankenwaldSteig and Frankenweg long-distance hiking trails are not far away. https://www.frankenwald-tourismus.de

Numerous hiking trails in the region lead past here. The Franconian Forest Association provides information in the entrance area about the special features of the tower and the region. There are plaques at the top to help you find your way around.
