Stückstein, Mountain summit in Eslarn, Germany

Stückstein is a mountain summit in the Upper Palatinate with an observation tower standing on its peak. The tower allows visitors to see across forested hills and the surrounding regional landscape.

The 32-metre Stückbergturm was erected on the summit in 1974, giving walkers a round view over the forests of the Oberpfälzer Wald. The mountain lies in the municipality of Eslarn, in the district of Neustadt an der Waldnaab, west of the Staatsstraße 2154 between Schönsee and Eslarn.

The rock formation Stückstein lies on the southern flank near the summit and is protected as a natural monument. Hikers start from the car park at Wildpark Eslarn on the Staatsstraße 2154, about 5 km north of Schönsee, for the roughly one-hour walk to the top.

The summit is best reached on foot through well-marked hiking paths starting from nearby towns. The tower is freely accessible and can be visited at any time of day.

The 32-metre Stückbergturm on the summit was erected in 1974 and gives a circular view over the wide forests around Eslarn. Just below the top, on the southern flank, lies the Stückstein rock formation, designated a natural monument.
