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.

Lake House Fichtelgebirge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A short, crisp climb - what could be better than a good snack and a cool drink, before you take more trails under the wheels. Good and cozy stop!

Today was another hike for the soul ... no 15 people met and a lot of nature ... a dream ... therefore without many words ... the pictures speak for themselves ...

October 15, 2021,Platte 🍂 Seehaus 🍻 Fichtelsee 🌀vom Silberhaus🌞

A varied hike👍 First we go uphill to the Platte, the path is stony and rooty and very picturesque. The view from above is gigantic.
The way down to the Zeehaus is also rocky.
We walk comfortably from the Seehaus to the Fichtelsee and on to the starting point Silberhaus 🌲🍁
