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.

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.

Beautiful 19 m high observation tower with a great view of the surrounding area, a panoramic window makes orientation easier.

my home territory. Around the Döbraberg you can cross-country ski in winter on a groomed trail. Otherwise there are many forest and trail paths for biking. The view from the mountain rescue hut is unique. Here you can also stay overnight on 4 pitches with a tent. You can register via the Franconian Forest Tourism Portal

The Frankenwarte is an observation tower of the Frankenwaldverein. It is located on the Hirschhügel hill near Hirschberglein, a district of Geroldsgrün in the Franconian Forest. Planning for the construction of the observation tower began in 1930 and was discontinued due to the war. The Franconian Forest Association acquired the site, the 8.5 m high tower was completed and inaugurated in 1951 as the Frankenwarte. Renovations were carried out in the 1980s. The hill is also of natural historical importance with its nutrient-poor grassland. Source: Wikipedia
