Disused ski lift in Valtenberg. The lift is no longer in operation, but remnants of the system, including the cable routing, are still visible.

The lodge and the King John Tower on the summit are closed because the tenant and the municipality are at loggerheads with each other. Let's hope that both parties can come to an agreement at some point.

Boundary stones from 1699 stand along this path: Hans Heinrich von Nostitz, the manor owner of Oberneukirchen, wanted to clarify the situation during a new survey and had these stones placed. On "his" side, they are marked with "HHVN" and the year; on the reverse, with "K" (for Electoral Land) and the stone number.
