    Tips

    Mountain biking

    The Prinzenfelsen is located in the middle of the forest, but is not far from the Gasthaus Silberhaus. A nice little climbing insert brings you up through a chunky rock labyrinth to the view over the treetops. The detour is also worthwhile for mountain bikers. The best way to connect with the nearby nearby Girgelhöhle.

    Hiking

    The two high rock towers made of granite were named Prinzenfelsen in 1911. Before that, they had different names in the vernacular. The larger one with the climbing facility and the viewing point is the Prinz-Ludwig-Felsen, the smaller one is the Prinz-Leopold-Felsen. The Fichtelgebirgsverein built the climbing facility in 1913. It is looked after by the Nagel local group.

    Hiking

    An exciting cave beneath the Prince's Rock, partially walled, with seating and a fireplace. It was probably a former shelter used by forestry workers or hunters.
