    The Weißenstädter See is a magnet for visitors at any time of the year. In summer, water sports enthusiasts of all kinds meet on the 48-hectare reservoir. And the walk around is always a worthwhile program!

      With around 50 hectares, the Weißenstädter See is the largest lake in the heart of the Fichtelgebirge. It was artificially dammed, lies on the upper reaches of the Eger and is fed by it and the Hirtenbach. The lake was created again in 1976 where the Weißenstadt town pond was until 1820. This dried up due to the opening of the dams and 200 plots of land were created on the area. The city bought back the land in the mid 1970's and replanted the recreational lake.
      The easily walkable four-kilometre-long shore path is one of the most-visited footpaths in the Fichtelgebirge, is barrier-free and is also suitable for wheelchair users or visitors with prams.

        Ideally suited for easy hikes or bike tours. It almost only goes there on a mostly paved path. We have been through everything - even since the time when there was no hotel or spa center on the lake.
        You can also see many inline skaters.
