Various hiking trails lead past the two houses of the Lower Wustuben. Wustuben is the vernacular name for Wustung (desert) and that used to mean destroyed or uninhabited houses. The two houses are uninhabited and left to decay (lost places).

Combine the pleasant with the useful - visit the mother-in-law in the nursing home for her birthday and run a Steigla in the bright sun beforehand.

From Presseck via the Presser Knock to the Schnebeser Knock and Kreuzknock - typical Franconian forest, luminous beech forests, steep paths and wide views to the Döbraberg

April 23, 2025,Presseck - Frankenwaldsteigla Dreierknock

Before the big rush to the newly built observation tower near Presseck began, I took the opportunity to climb the 235 steps to the top. The panoramic view is phenomenal. The rush of visitors was limited this early morning, and I was able to thoroughly enjoy the panorama.
The official opening is on May 2nd.
After I finally found my …

For us, a new Frankenwald Steigla at Dreierknock.

With glorious spring weather, magnificent trails, and many beautiful views, we had the entire Steigla to ourselves. A brilliant tour, even though (or perhaps because?) the observation tower isn't open yet. This attraction is likely to attract more hikers and onlookers in the future.

We're already looking forward to the next Steigla.

You can save yourself the detour between Wustuben and Elbersreuth. The path is marked, but it is difficult to see in the small forest area. The route in the Hikeline hiking guide "Frankenwald" (1st edition 2021) goes along the road to Elbersreuth.
