マルクトレドヴィッツの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

Attention: dogs are not allowed in the inn, which I find unusual for a hiking restaurant! Maybe it doesn't matter in the summer, but with -5 degrees and stormy winds, of course I didn't want to leave my woof out. So I completely refrained from taking a break. A pity!

unfortunately closed (during the summer holidays?!?!) and no sign indicating the opening times.

Beautiful all-round view and in good weather you can see as far as the Fichtelberg and the Czech Republic, the Arber or the Rauhen Kulm.

A visit to the castle ruins in the Steinwald is always impressive. In 1997 it was restored stone by stone by the Steinwaldia Pullenreuth association. Since then it has shone in new splendor.

Because of the clear, wide view in all directions (Bavarian Forest, Rhön, Thuringian Forest, Ore Mountains), the Kösseine was a popular destination from an early stage. The level of awareness was significantly increased in 1805 by visiting the then Prussian sovereignty. Opened to tourists since 1878, the mountain still attracts many hikers and cyclists today. There is no public road to the summit. The stone observation tower and the “Kösseinehaus” accommodation house of the Fichtelgebirge association invite you to take a look and stop for a bite to eat.

The larger-than-life statue of "Mother Earth" is enthroned on a stone pedestal on the south side of the castle ruins. The imposing work of art was commissioned by Eberhard Freiherr von Gemmingen-Hornberg. The bronze statue, which embodies down-to-earthness and the connection between heaven and earth, was created by the sculptor Engelbert Süss from Pfreimd.

A real highlight, whether by bike or as a hiker, you have a wonderful place for a rest or a break here. Great terrace with a beautiful view, great snacks and pan dishes at fair prices. But you should bring some time with you. Note opening hours. https://www.das-koesseinehaus.de/
