Saale Meadows in Hof

Highlight • Rest Area

With the State Horticultural Show in 1994, the Saaleauen were also given an upgrade - from the path object by Johannes Peter Hölzinger to the Theresienstein, you can move around the garden show grounds at that time.

Plans are plans.

Our tour took us from Lake Unteusee to the Förmitz Reservoir and back. We mainly followed the well-maintained Saale Cycle Path.

If the weather had been a bit better, we certainly would have explored some of the side paths.

June 9, 2025,Untreusee – Förmitzspeicher Runde

We decided on a last-minute tour in Upper Franconia today. Our destinations were Lake Untreusee near Hof and the Förmitz Reservoir near Schwarzenbach an der Saale. Luckily, the lake festival was also taking place at the Förmitz Reservoir. Both destinations were very well attended, whether on foot or by bike. People came from near and far.
