The Peterlesstein is a fascinating natural monument. The 589-meter-high mountain consists of serpentinite rock with magnetite inclusions, which are said to make compass needles go haywire here. However, our compass showed the cardinal directions normally, even though we tried at different spots.

The Prinz-Rupprechtturm (Prince Rupprecht Tower) is a 14-meter-high observation tower belonging to the @Fichtelgebirgsverein e.V. (Fichtel Mountain Association) on the 596-meter-high Wolfenberg mountain. It offers a beautiful view of the Hof region to the north, especially when the leaves aren't on the trees. Otherwise, it's unfortunately heavily overgrown. This is unsightly, but unfortunately, due to the property ownership situation, it can't be remedied. Those who want to look out into the countryside to the east and south can walk or cycle along the dirt road on the southern slope of the Wolfenberg towards Köslar.

There is a rest area at the Hohe Warte. The lookout tower has been removed. I saved a picture from 2016 as a reminder (picture no. 41). Now there is only a cross at this point.

The observation tower is not recommended. It is totally overgrown and offers practically no view.
