Koser Valley in Frankenwald Nature Park

Highlight • Gorge

From Einöd via the slag mill to the parking lot, it runs smoothly. However, there is a lot going on when the weather is nice. Mutual respect is required.

Kleinreh Mill

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Great stop for hikers. The smoked fish (also to take away) are a poem. There is also coffee, cake and snacks. As a Mühlenweg hiker you have to plan in advance!

May 21, 2025,⛅⛈️🌧️ Runde zwei von Wirsberg...

...this time through the valleys of the Koserbach and the Lower Steinach, including the Steinach Gorge... 🙂
A little scare after ¾ of the route 🤯 - the zipper on my backpack was open - the key was missing.
After all sorts of pondering over the whys and wherefores, I finally came to terms with it. Secretly, though, I still …

September 11, 2025,Steinachklamm MTB-Runde von Marktleugast 💦🌲💦🌦️🙂

Today we were hiking in the Fichtel Mountains. The weather was rather moderate, and it rained for about half the tour. Nevertheless, we had fun: beautiful scenery, hardly anyone around, and our rain gear held up. The tour is a mix of singletrack, forest paths, and paved bike paths.

... often read, much praised, the Steinachtal and the Steinachklamm. Today finally the long planned round.
Really worth a tour. Great paths, both gravel, but also pure roots.
And many rest stops, e.g. small rotary mill.

Due to several deaths and serious illnesses in my immediate area, I felt the need to visit the basilica in Marienweiher again today 🥰.
Even without a special occasion, this magnificent building is worth a visit ❣️❣️
On my "journey" in Wirsberg – coincidentally right in front of Alexander Herrmann's gourmet restaurant – my speedometer showed 22,222 km (4 years, …

We took advantage of the sun and cycled a little across the sunny meadows, over the jungle trail past the large beaver castle, before going through the great Kosertal up to Marienweiher⛪️. The sun warmed our backs again and again.
After Marktleugast we took the mill path towards Kleinrehmühle, that used to be a great path, just the forest....🙄 no …

A lovely little loop from Wirsberg, along the mining trail to Marktleugast. From there, we took the mill trail to the Kleinrehmühle mill. There, we treated ourselves to coffee and cake 🎂 before heading down to the Steinachklamm gorge and the Nordeck ruins.
In Stadtsteinach, we did another loop through the bike course before returning to Wirsberg via the primeval …
