슈타트슈타인나흐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪9‬개의 산 정상

Please note: West of the Roten Bühl, a large amount of forest has been cleared, and new paths have been created in the process. Here, you have to explore the paths yourself, and sometimes you won't find the old, familiar paths again. It's impossible to get lost, as a wide forest road leads around three-quarters of the hill a little lower down. From the forest road, a beautiful forest path leads west to the 7Fuhren (7-horse carriages), and from there, you'll eventually reach the Lucas Cranach Tower, which is well-marked. You can also head for the houses north of the hill and walk back to Staibra on the paved road.

Height according to the sign 708 m above sea level. Not spectacular but still worth a detour

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...

Wonderfully mystical even in rain and fog

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.

Here I was lucky enough to pass the Franconian Forest Hiking Marathon 2021. A wonderful photo opportunity. Above the sunshine and in the valley the fog.
