Tips

Hiking

The striking wooden cross was erected on the summit in 2016. However, it does not stand on the highest point of the mountain.

Hiking

The summit cross erected in 2016 is somewhat hidden on the way to the ski slope. If you only have your eyes on the inn and the tower, it's easy to miss.

Hiking

A cross also belongs on a summit, especially if it is one of the most famous mountains in Franconia.
