Location: Kirchenpingarten, Landkreis Bayreuth, Franconian Switzerland, Upper Franconia, Bavaria, Germany
The Gänskopfhütte (743 m) is located on the extreme south side of the Fichtelgebirge in the area of the municipality of Kirchenpingarten. It was built in 1970/71 by the members of the local group Weidenberg as a hiking base and therefore celebrated its 40th anniversary.Always worth a visit!Not far from the Westweg, the Gänskopfhütte is the destination of many hikers all year round. Especially in winter it becomes a welcome stop for many ski hikers and cross-country skiers who, for example, make a detour from the former cross-country ski trail from the Bayreuth house to the Königskron forester's house for a snack at the Gänskopfhütte.Every weekend members of the local group Weidenberg slip into the role of the hut landlord and serve the Gänskopfhütte on a voluntary basis. In the cozy dining room there is space for 40 people. A further 20 seats are available in the youth room.Dear friends of the Gänskopfhütte,
Due to the new Corona location, the Gänskopfhütte is open again.Info at gaenskopf@fgv-weidenberg.d
