Hiking
The Popp memorial stone stands on the Rügersberg - Königsheide hiking trail and commemorates forester Friedrich Popp, who was shot dead in December 1920 in the immediate vicinity of poachers and timber thieves. On July 16, 1921, women picking berries found the forester's body in a pit. The perpetrator was not identified until 1927, and in April 1928 he was convicted by the Bayreuth Assize Court.
