Roadside viewpoint above Kupferberg offering framed panoramas of the timbered Franconian valley and the imposing Plassenburg castle across the valley. Best at golden hour or blue hour for warm light on the castle and long shadows; autumn and misty mornings add mood. Easy roadside parking at Zum Straßenwirtshaus with a short walk/terrace access; no entry fee. Weekdays and early mornings avoid locals and diners. Bring layers—wind can be strong on the ridge.
