Hochwacht Pfannenstiel — Restaurant and Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Popular excursion destination on the Pfannenstiel. In addition to a good restaurant, there is an observation tower, plenty of seating and plenty of sun when the weather is right. A worthwhile destination, even in winter.

Pfannenstiel Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Barbecue area with a view

Highlight • Rest Area

Nicely located on the forest, it has three or four grill stations there, enough space for many who want to visit the beautiful place at the same time.
