クローナハの絶景の山頂・トップ13

Please note: West of the Roten Bühl, a large amount of forest has been cleared, and new paths have been created in the process. Here, you have to explore the paths yourself, and sometimes you won't find the old, familiar paths again. It's impossible to get lost, as a wide forest road leads around three-quarters of the hill a little lower down. From the forest road, a beautiful forest path leads west to the 7Fuhren (7-horse carriages), and from there, you'll eventually reach the Lucas Cranach Tower, which is well-marked. You can also head for the houses north of the hill and walk back to Staibra on the paved road.

quite overgrown in summer

Beautiful place, worth it

Height according to the sign 708 m above sea level. Not spectacular but still worth a detour

You don't even have to go as far as the cross to find a worthwhile destination here. The Eichenbühl has always been a magnificent vantage point on the western edge of the Franconian Forest. And for connoisseurs there has always been a beautiful little path around the summit. All of this has improved again, because currently (May 2024) the meadow path is beautifully mown and by cutting down spruce trees along the path, the view from the southeast (Fichtel Mountains) to the northeast to the Thuringian Forest is possible. It is best to leave the car on the Kapellenweg on the edge of the forest about 100 m behind the end of the village of Eichleithen. Then you go on a little discovery tour, because the circular route is not yet listed on OSM and Komoot. If you can't find it, look here https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/1578282365 or in the Bavaria Atlas.

So if you have enough provisions with you and are spontaneous, you can consider whether you want to hike a little further 😉

A bit through the bushes, then you come to the cross. If you look closely, you can see the path. Unfortunately no bench here, but a view.
