What to expect
The Rauher Kulm is a small basalt mountain located in the Upper Palatinate region of Bavaria, Germany. It stands at 681 meters tall and features a 25-meter tall observation tower at its peak, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape, including the northern Franconian Switzerland, the southern wall of the Fichtel Mountains, and the Upper Palatinate Forest. The mountain has a rich history, with a castle built on top of it during the Middle Ages, which was later destroyed during the Second Margrave War. Today, the Rauher Kulm is a popular hiking destination, with several well-marked paths leading to the summit and around the surrounding forests. Visitors can enjoy comfortable strolls through the forest or exciting hikes in high altitudes, taking in the breathtaking views of the colorful landscape and red roofs of the small city of Neustadt am Kulm

Sightseeing and hiking in the Steinwald and Stiftland
Activities: We hiked the Vulkan-Erlebnisweg Rauher Kulm. We enjoyed the views from the viewpoint. We walked through the Blockmeer, which surrounds the peak. We climbed the 110 steps of the viewing tower
Highlights: It was great fun to explore the Blockmeer. The kids loved the adventurous terrain and climbing the tower for panoramic views. "A real adventure is the crossing of the sea of blocks." ✨
