In Kösseineturm there is a plate that identifies the mountains visible on the horizon. Good to see are Schneeberg, Ochsenkopf, Mehlmaisel and (not shown on the map) south of the volcanic cone Rauher Kulm.

Weißenstein Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

From the plate you reach a path to the castle ruin Weissenstein. The descent is demanding and full of technical passages. But if you come there, you can enjoy a wonderful view on the castle ruins.

Beautiful all-round view and in good weather you can see as far as the Fichtelberg and the Czech Republic, the Arber or the Rauhen Kulm.

A visit to the castle ruins in the Steinwald is always impressive. In 1997 it was restored stone by stone by the Steinwaldia Pullenreuth association. Since then it has shone in new splendor.

Because of the clear, wide view in all directions (Bavarian Forest, Rhön, Thuringian Forest, Ore Mountains), the Kösseine was a popular destination from an early stage. The level of awareness was significantly increased in 1805 by visiting the then Prussian sovereignty. Opened to tourists since 1878, the mountain still attracts many hikers and cyclists today. There is no public road to the summit. The stone observation tower and the “Kösseinehaus” accommodation house of the Fichtelgebirge association invite you to take a look and stop for a bite to eat.

The larger-than-life statue of "Mother Earth" is enthroned on a stone pedestal on the south side of the castle ruins. The imposing work of art was commissioned by Eberhard Freiherr von Gemmingen-Hornberg. The bronze statue, which embodies down-to-earthness and the connection between heaven and earth, was created by the sculptor Engelbert Süss from Pfreimd.
