Numerous hiking trails start from this small lake and the adjacent car park. Since the Karchessee is located directly on the B 303, it is not so idyllic.

Hiking

From the Karches-See or Karches-Weiher with the Waldrasthaus Karches (hiking car park) the Goetheweg leads to the Weißmainfelsen, the Weißmainquelle and the Ochsenkopf summit. You can also hike the Weißmain nature trail to the Bischofsgrün valley station here.

Idyllic lake with a highly recommended inn. The hiking car park is a good starting point for tours in the surrounding area.
