Hiking

Great tower and the 135 m high landmark of Spies, can be seen from afar. There is also a smaller parking lot for hikers at the tower.

Hiking

With a height of 637 m, the Hohe Reuth between Spies, Schermshöhe and Riegelstein is the highest elevation in Franconian Switzerland. The "Kleine Kulm" near Pegnitz is in second place with a height of 626 m (data: Bavarian surveying office). The Riegelstein telecommunications tower is located on the summit plateau of the Hohe Reuth.

The tower can be seen again and again in the whole area from afar, good for orientation.
