프랑코니아 숲‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산 정상

페터레스슈타인은 매혹적인 자연 기념물입니다. 높이 589미터의 이 산은 자철석이 포함된 사문암으로 구성되어 있어 나침반 바늘이 이곳에서 미친다고 합니다. 하지만 우리는 여러 장소에서 시도했지만 나침반은 정상적으로 방향을 가리켰습니다.

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.

At 792 meters, the fourth-highest peak in the Franconian Forest may be unspectacular, but it does offer a wonderful rest area. The Bobengrün Franconian Forest Association inaugurated a new covered seating area with a summit register in September 2024 to raise awareness of the mountain.

quite overgrown in summer

There's a nice covered seating area and a summit register. But unfortunately, the summit offers no view at all.

Beautiful place, worth it

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.
