プレセックの絶景の山頂・トップ17

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 square stone tower stands on the 678 meter high Radspitze north of Seibelsdorf on the Franconian Forest range of hills. The upper floor is paneled with larch wood and has a roof. The viewing terrace is 12.5 meters high, and there is another platform at a height of 18 meters. A comprehensive overview is offered. In the south-east you can see the Fichtelgebirge, in the south the Franconian Jura plateau with Staffelberg, in the west the Steigerwald, Hassberge and Rhön, in the north-west the Thuringian Forest and the Franconian Forest. The tower was built in 1955 with a height of 16 meters. After the lease with Loewe Opta in Kronach expired, the tower was raised and renewed in 1969. After renovations in 1980 and a general renovation in 2000, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Franconian Forest Association local group Seibelsdorf, the tower shines in its current form.

Currently completely open again. Edit: February '23 closed again!

At the end of my tour I'm still on the Peterlestein. A rocky path, actually very beautiful. Just not so much at the end of the tour just before dark...

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

It would be interesting to see a picture of a compass on the Peterlesstein and somehow convincing evidence that the compass spins. This is probably only the case in a few places. The Peterlesstein is rather unsuitable for people who use the mountain bike trails, as it is practically impassable. It is best to park the bike at the upper end, i.e. on the northern edge of the hill in the forest, and climb the last few meters on foot. This is not recommended from the south, as it is much longer.

The observation tower "Frankenwarte" rises on the almost 680 meter high deer hill. The round stone tower is more than eight meters high, from several viewing hatches you have a wonderful view of the entire area. With good visibility you can see as far as the Fichtelgebirge.

Nice destination located above the mirror ponds. Short, narrow ascent is rewarded with a wonderful view and an idyllic place to rest
