A very nice restaurant with a lovely outdoor area. A great place for a break and a snack, they serve coffee and cake, and of course schnitzel and other dishes at a fair price. This is the perfect place to start your hike or mountain bike tour; there's plenty of free parking nearby.

The most beautiful resting place on the entire 3-day tour, even with stone benches from the region - for the region.

Easy to see from the A9, especially when the cross is lit. I've always wanted to go up there. The facility is beautiful. Unfortunately, the transmission mast also has to be there. You can see the Döbraberg very well to the west, recognizable by its sphere from the military position. Towards the (south)east you have the Fichtelgebirge in front of you. The Ochsenkopf with its transmission tower and Schneeberg with its former military tower are particularly easy to recognize.

An arbor (lat. altus for high) is a balcony supported by columns from the ground will. Not so with our Bohemian neighbors: there it is a pavilion that Park serves as a shelter and vantage point. The two friendly cities Hof and Karlovy Vary built two balconies in 2014: one here and the other, the "Josef Jungmann-Altan" on a 535-meter high lookout hill above the Březová dam on the Teplá River. Josef Jungmann (1773-1847) was a writer and frequented Karlsbad. His five-volume Czech-German dictionary is famous.
