    The Epprechtstein Information Center opened in 2019. The highlights are diverse: It offers extensive information about Kirchenlamitz, the Wunsiedel Stone Center, the Granite Labyrinth, the Bavaria-Bohemia Geopark, the Fichtelgebirge Nature Park, and the Epprechtstein itself. In the Granite Labyrinth at Epprechtstein, you can enjoy a unique experience of nature and art on winding paths made of 180 mighty granite blocks. The Fichtelgebirge Nature Park surrounding you impresses with its extensive forests, wild granite rock formations, and a diverse flora and fauna that has evolved in the different climate zones and habitats of the low mountain range. When you climb the Epprechtstein, you will not only encounter an exciting castle ruin, but also a magnificent view of the entire Fichtelgebirge.
