König Albert Tower (Spiegelwald)

Highlight • Viewpoint

"From this place, the hiker can enjoy the wonderful works of God's nature and look out over a happy and contented country!"

With these words, King Albert, who was very popular with the people, carried out the three symbolic hammer blows for the laying of the foundation stone of the tower on July 9, 1880.

Today, the building is in a very well-maintained condition with an attractive restaurant and an observation tower that can be reached by elevator.

Balcony of the Ore Mountains (Frankonia Cable Car Mountain Station Viewpoint)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Frankonia cable car was a cable car in Beierfeld used exclusively for freight transport. It connected the Zwönitz–Scheibenberg railway line with Frankonia AG, which was by far Beierfeld's largest industrial company at the time.

Today it serves as a viewpoint in the direction of Schwarzenberg
