West Pavilion Wirsberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this small pavilion with benches, you would certainly have a great view of Wirsberg if someone would trim the trees. In May 2026, you could (unfortunately) only see a lot of green from here.

October 29, 2023,Peterlesstein Hermes Wirsberg Kupferberg Rundwanderung

For next year I have to remember that with the time change it will be darker an hour earlier 🙈
And I shouldn't follow Frodo, who is advised to stay away from the paths. Wildlife trails and similar Bear Grylls adventures are really strenuous. Otherwise a wonderful path 🤣

May 18, 2022,Peterlesstein Hermes Wirsberg Kupferberg Rundwanderung

Very nice round tour with some sections that are still completely unknown to me, eg the Buchleit and the lookout point without a path at Neufang. Since I plan to ride the Steinreichweg with my mountain bike, I can already think about how to carry the bike over the Peterlesstein. 😊😊
Luckily it's aluminum and not iron.

Today was a very nice circular hike that I walked with my daughter Julia. The starting point of the tour is at the edge of the forest above Kupferberg, directly on the B 289. Even the view from the car park to the west towards Kulmbach is spectacular.

There was a lot to discover along the way: the Ilse Stein, the Koserkreuz am Koserbach, the Spiegelteich, Peterlestein, the Galgenberg near Kupferberg, the mining town of Kupferberg (even when the café …
