Newbie question

At the end of printing the printhead stops very low above the printbed at the left side.
Is there a way (menu?) to move the printhead up so it easier to clean the nozzle and remove the steel-bed without touching the printhead?

Press and hold the LCD Control button for a couple of seconds, and you should go right to the Z height adjustment

one of those situations where it's right in front of your nose, but not obviously visible. 

Happy printing!

Or you can change the End G-code of your printer profile. You have to be in expert mode in Prusaslicer to see it under Printer Settings/Custom G-code.

Look for a line similar to 

{if max_layer_z < max_print_height}G1 Z{z_offset+min(max_layer_z+30, max_print_height)}{endif} ; Move print head up

Change the 30 to whatever value you like. I have set mine to 50, which moves it high enough to clean the nozzle.

{if max_layer_z < max_print_height}G1 Z{z_offset+min(max_layer_z+30, max_print_height)} F720 ; Move print head further up{endif}

I come from the time when Madness had a hit called One Step Beyond.
So I'll just do that. 😀
