Hammerner Dorfkneipe e.G.

Highlight • Pub

When the “Winkel” inn closed in autumn 2022, there was no longer a pub in Wölsauerhammer. Committed residents then founded a cooperative with the invitation to join: “If you want a beer, then invest. Be part of it - otherwise it's over”. Many shares were sold and with the sum of 200,000 euros received and a lot of personal effort, the aging pub was renovated. Now it shines in new splendour.
The Hammerner village pub is open from Wednesday to Saturday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. and on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. There is local cuisine and various snacks.

Wallenstein Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Beautiful cycle path that was built as part of the cross-border garden show in 2006. The northern route begins on Marktredwitz's local mountain, the Kösseine, and leads along the rivers Kösseine, Röslau and Eger via the towns of Marktredwitz and Arzberg to the Schirnding border crossing. From there it continues to the town of Eger. The southern route goes from Marktredwitz via Waldershof (Steinwald), Pechbrunn, Mitterteich, Hofteich, Altenhammer, Waldsassen and Slapany with the town of Cheb (Eger) in the Czech Republic.

One of the many crafts associated with iron processing in Arzberg was that of the nail smith. On March 19, 1847, master nailsmith Konrad Michael Künzel received the concession to manufacture nails. In 1905, his son Erhard Künzel commissioned Germany's first nailing machine for square-conical nails in Leupoldshammer. This machine was built in-house by an engineer specially hired from France. The company in the front G'steinigt was bought in 1907 by the porcelain manufacturer Carl Auvera. The company is still family-owned today.

Kleiner Johannes Show Mine

Highlight • Historical Site

After the "Kleiner Johannes" colliery was shut down on April 30, 1941, the Marienschacht was filled in. The mine site and associated facilities are initially used for small business and eventually fall into disrepair. The Arzberg City Council's decision in 1994 to demolish the building was never implemented. The historical awareness of the Arzberg mining tradition prevails.
Reconstruction begins in 1999, two years later the information center of the Fichtelgebirge Nature Park "Kleiner Johannes" is opened. The show mine shows the history of local mining.
