⚒️ Epprechtstein Labyrinth

Highlight • Monument

Impressive to walk around between the granite blocks. You can't get lost here, but you have to walk a few meters further because there is only one way out of the labyrinth.

Went up to the Epprechtstein ruins in pleasant temperatures, the ruins were well attended on Saturday afternoon. From here the quarry trail expired. We got back the lost calories in the German House in Weißenstadt, highly recommended!

With this picture-perfect autumn weather, it was a 'must' to go out in the afternoon after work. A short, beautiful circular route around the Epprechtstein, a detour up to the ruins was a must.

We had a little winter break today.
It's just November.
The jumble of rock walls, piles of leftover stones from the granite quarries and finally a castle ruin still impressed us.

A short hike – but you should still plan plenty of time. Not because the path is particularly arduous, but because there is so much to discover, marvel at, and learn along the way.

Once you reach the top, a special panorama opens up. In sunshine and clear weather, you can let your gaze wander far across the Fichtel Mountains. …

That's the advantage of working where others go on vacation. Beautiful walking and adventure trails without obstacles at the same time, the Fichtelgebirge is so fascinating. Ochsenkopf, Schneeberg, Fichtelberg, this region is simply beautiful. I'm still there more often somehow it will draw me to the Berhe mentioned. I was housed in Kirchenlamnitz a few months ago, but I never …
