Wooden bridge over the Fichtelsee

Highlight • Bridge

Two new arch bridges were erected at Fichtelsee in September 2021. They replace the two dilapidated wooden buildings that stood here before. If you stand on the bridge, you have a wonderful view over the lake to the Schneeberg.

The Fichtelseemoor is an important raised bog. In this relic of the last ice age, which is between 8,000 and 10,000 years old, a unique flora and fauna typical of raised bogs has developed under the barren conditions.

March 4, 2024,Seenwanderung im Fichtelgebirge - die kulinarische Runde am Fichtelsee 🥾⛅️

The second tour of the day led around the Fichtelsee. This is located approx. 6 km from Nageler See between Bischofsgrün in the northwest and Fichtelberg in the south. From the hiking car park southeast of the lake we went around the lake and to the Jean Paul fountain.

April 18, 2025,🇩🇪 Karfreitagsrunde um den Fichtelsee

Easter in the Fichtel Mountains. Good Friday is quite rainy, but it's still enough for a lap (or rather, eight laps) around Lake Fichtelsee. The weather somehow has a Canadian feel. The lake underlines this.

December 25, 2025,Kleine Fichtelseerunde 🌟😎🥰🥶

A trip to the Fichtel Mountains with a hike around Lake Fichtel. A few millimeters of snow gave us a touch of winter ❄️☃️. It was also significantly colder than at home, but we were accompanied by sunshine 🌞 on our little hike 👍🥰😎.

August 17, 2025,Frankenstones 🪨 am Fichtelsee ⛵️

Today we explored Lake Fichtelsee in glorious sunshine! The sun was almost too bright, so we shone more than the water's surface. Our 4-kilometer walk around the lake was actually quite relaxing, except for the fact that we had to keep our eyes peeled the whole way. We were on the hunt for the mysterious Frankenstones!
