August 6, 2025,Zur Burgruine Uprode: Geschichte, Genuss und Kuriositäten

🌳🦋 A very varied hike:
Forest and meadow paths, a perfectly straight poplar avenue, a light-filled birch grove, bridges and small bridges, a fish pond, and the Wendelin memorial.

😉🙂 Many information boards with sayings accompany us along the way, sometimes thought-provoking, sometimes amusing.

Nice tour near Weißdorf east of Münchberg, which leads to the castle ruins via a circular route with lots of clever sayings. We wanted to explore a new corner and the detour was worth it, even if the weather wasn't ideal 🌧

14 participants went on an interesting hike to the Uprode castle ruins today.

June 3, 2023,Bayern (Oberfranken): FGV-Wanderung: Von Oppenroth zu Burgruine Uprode und zur Sommerhut; 030623

Alternative to the tour that ran a fortnight ago. The wedding was celebrated at Landgasthof Walther in Wulmersreuth today, so we changed our plans at short notice and switched to Oppenroth as the start and destination.
