This castle-like building, once built as a hotel, now stands abandoned at the summit of the Potzberg – a silent witness to times gone by. 📍 Tip: A short detour is worthwhile – the architecture offers exciting photo opportunities in contrast to the surrounding nature.

The Königsberg is 568 meters high. Its summit is forested, so you don't have a view from the top. It is still worth a visit, because there is a small summit cross, a hut and several picnic tables on the summit.

At 568 m, it is one of the highest mountains in the Kusler Land. It is criss-crossed by numerous tunnels. In Wolfstein itself, the lime mine has been expanded into a visitor mine. Mercury, iron ore barite and coal were also mined there.
