Hiking
The Zinnbach would actually be the main source stream, but it is better to pass by at this point. Therefore, this source was nicely framed and declared as the official Cheb source. After the tough ascent - no matter from which side - a nice place for a little break.

Very nicely laid out system with the spring connection, a memorial stone and seating areas. The Eger spring is easy to reach for cyclists and hikers, and there is also a car park not far from the spring.

Hiking
The Eger has its source at a height of 752 meters on the northwest slope of the Schneeberg, the highest mountain in Upper Franconia at 1,053 meters. From its source, the river makes a total journey of 325 kilometers.
As early as 1850 there was a first provisional spring mount. At the instigation of the town of Eger in neighboring Bohemia, the new edging was carried out in 1923 by Grasyma AG Wunsiedel. The official inauguration was Pentecost 1924. The Egerquelle is a natural monument.
