Kleiner Kulm Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Little Kulm is located between the districts of Körbeldorf and Büchenbach. The first observation tower was built here shortly after the Second World War. The tower fell into disrepair and was replaced by a new one in 2000. From the viewing platform you have a wonderful view of the Franconian Forest, the Fichtel Mountains and the Franconian Switzerland.

Hollenberg Mountain Station

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Nice, small snack bar with good snacks, there is also a vending machine for drinks. However, only open on weekends and with a limited number of seats, arriving early ensures the best seats.

Voithöhle Cave

Highlight • Cave

Nice but flat cave. The cave is a long tube stretching horizontally into the mountain, it is mostly uncomfortable to crawl. The total length should be 100m.
