Kleinreh Mill

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Great stop for hikers. The smoked fish (also to take away) are a poem. There is also coffee, cake and snacks. As a Mühlenweg hiker you have to plan in advance!

March 15, 2025,Kulmbach und zurück 🌥️🌬️🌥️
Late in the afternoon, I quickly hopped back on my bike and headed for Kulmbach on the bike path. I took a few snapshots in the market square and then headed back.
