Leisure and Tourism
Almost the entire Hohe Warte is designated as a landscape protection area. The area around the Siegesturm on the Hohe Wart is mainly developed for tourism, but the eastern part is less open . A playground was created in a former sand quarry near the summit , supplemented by a football field with basketball hoops . A popular excursion destination with a beer garden and children's playground is the Gasthaus Auf der Theta , a former agricultural property in the Hochtheta district of Bindlach.
The Nortwaldweg hiking trail begins on the southern slope of the Hohe Warte.
Economical meaning
The area is important for the timber industry, it is used and maintained by the Bavarian State Forests .
The source area around the Hohe Wart is used almost exclusively to supply the city of Bayreuth with water. In 1980 an elevated drinking water tank with a capacity of 10,000 cubic meters was put into operation there, which has now been given a new company building. This container also stores the water that is obtained from around 90 spring taps on the southern slope of the Ochsenkopf in the Fichtelgebirge . From there, 23% of Bayreuth's drinking water comes into the city via a 30-kilometer pipeline with around 3.4 million liters per day.
In the area of the city of Bayreuth, two groups of a forest kindergarten with 40 children use the area. The establishment of a funeral forest planned by an association is controversial , the facility of which threatens to affect the forest children.
To the east of the Hohe Wart lies the Hohe Warte Clinic, named after the ridge .
