The mountain rescue hut is located in the upper third of the former ski slope. A well-used hiking trail runs below. There is a wooden lounger right next to the hut. There is a Franconian Forest trekking site above the slope.

Here you can park, stop and if the gastronomy is not open, use the vending machine. Good starting point for a smooth tour.

The Radspitzalm in Mittelberg, operated by the Frankenwaldverein, local group Seibelsdorf, is only open on special occasions. The Radspitzeinkehr, just opposite, is usually open from January 6th. Here there is coffee and cake, a hearty snack or other dishes. The "Radspitze-Oberehesberg-Kreuzstein" cross-country ski run is very close by. You can park here, but chains are required for the ascent from Seibelsdorf to Mittelberg by car. An alternative is to drive to the Kreuzstein near Geuser and master the route here (approx. 4.5 km one way) on skis.

The mountain rescue hut Döbraberg is on the former starting slope of the Döbraberg descent down to the Zwergenloch near Schwarzenbach a. W., on which races were still held until the early 1980s. The last giant slalom took place in 1996. The cross-country ski trails 6 km, 8 km and 15 km, as well as the 5 km skating trail lead right past here.

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.

And when it's closed, there's the Alm and the drinks vending machine opposite. I've already eaten and drank well here.
