On November 25, 1944, a Ju88 crashed near Mehlmeisel due to icing. The pilot Fritz Mang lost his life. On-board radio operators and on-board mechanics were able to save themselves by parachute. The memorial consists of a granite cross.

It started from Mehlmeisel below the Bayreuther Hütte. 3 euros parking fee for 24 hours totally fine, but probably very crowded with a lot of skiers. Today at -2 degrees it was rather quiet. The way led us on beautiful snowy little paths through the spruce forest. The signage is good. Small streams were crossed. The highlight was the Rotenfels. …

May 15, 2022,Bayreuther Haus - Jägersteig - Klausenturm Ausflug

Sunday and wonderful hiking weather. So off into the mountains, more precisely Fichtelgebirge, on the Jägersteig and to the Klausenturm. The start was at the Bayreuther Hütte / Waldhaus & Wildpark Mehlmeisel car park. That's pretty much at the top, i.e. first it went down and then up again 🤪.
