Activities: We went to the Waldsteingipfel, finding parking near the Waldsteinhaus restaurant. From there, hiking trails lead around the Waldstein through bizarre rock formations and shady forests. We visited the Aussichtsturm Schüsselfels with panoramic views
Highlights: The kids enjoyed climbing to the top of the Schüsselfels lookout tower. The panoramic views of the Fichtelgebirge, the Frankenwald, and the Steinwald were amazing. "...the Aussichtsturm Schüsselfels makes the Waldstein a real insider tip..." ✨
