Small wooden cross at Kreuzfelsen

Highlight • Monument

The ascent is from the side, when you go down from the top of Kreuzfelsen towards the "viewpoint"

The Kreuzfelsen is 999 meters high and part of the elongated Kaitersberg. On the rocky summit is a huge summit cross including summit book. From here you have a very good view of Bad Kötzting and the front Bavarian Forest.

Mittagstein War Memorial Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The site features a chapel with memorial stone and cross for the fallen of the wars. Nice vantage point. View at the Kreuzfelsen but many times better.

Due to the icy paths, the round trip was much shorter than planned. The view over the clouds was still worth it 🙂
