Ringelfelsen rock formation. This is one of the largest rock formations in the surrounding area. The Friends of Nature House is built directly on the rock here, with a lovely covered seating area.

The 653-meter-high Ringelfelsen (also known as the Rinnlstein) is geologically part of the Waldsassen Slate Mountains. It is composed of phyllite and was formed in the Cambrian period, approximately 541 to 485 million years ago. The name likely derives from a spring and the small stream emerging from it, marking the boundary. This "rinne" (channel) from the Rinelbrunnen (rinel fountain), which flowed onto the Rinnlwiesen (rinel meadows), gave the Rinnlstein its name in the late 19th century. Over time, the large stone near the Rinelbrunnen gradually became the Ringelfelsen (ringel rock). A wooden hut was built at this popular hiking destination in 1947, but was replaced by a brick hut after a fire. Since 1977, a cross has adorned the overhanging rock face.

The Naturfreundehaus Wernersreuth advertises itself as an "inn in the countryside," offering regional cuisine and a tranquil holiday atmosphere. It serves hot meals all day on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and on Sundays and public holidays from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. The house was built in 1860 as a Royal Bavarian Forest Lodge. It has been operating as an inn since 1970, and Petra and Robert Bock have been the chefs since 2001.

The TUS Mitterteich cross-country skiing center. In winter, with sufficient snow conditions, you can enjoy cross-country skiing on scenic trails approximately 2-7 km long.

Backside for relaxing, cozy beer corner. 😜

The Kohlberg (632 m above sea level) south of Arzberg is also called the Sugarloaf. The 32 m high Waldenfelswarte observation tower offers a wonderful view of the surrounding area. Binoculars and panoramic overviews that can be used free of charge help with orientation. The Waldenfelswarte is the highest observation tower in the Fichtel Mountains.

The board at the local ski sports club provides an overview of the hiking trails. There are also rules on how to behave when skiing. The trails are very well marked. All that's missing is the snow... ❄️❄️❄️
