History

Its name comes from the old Kohlenmeilern (wood piles) used to produce charcoal for iron smelters in the Arzberg. The mountain was jocularly called the Zuckerhut (sugar hat), due to the smuggling of sugar over the old border between Bavaria and Prussia.

Structures

On the summit is the Waldenfelswarte observation post and a refuge hut belonging to the Fichtelgebirge Club (not manned). At its southwestern foot lies the Feisnitz Reservoir and, to the northwest, the Röslau flows around the mountain.
