Castle Staircase (Burgtreppe) in Felsenlabyrinth, Fichtelgebirge

Highlight • Natural Monument

A staircase made of rock: each step is different. It is a bit narrow, it is steep, but walking up here is also a very special experience.

Along the circular path through the rock labyrinth, there are numerous beautiful viewing platforms and rock formations. It's best to climb them all and enjoy them. They offer wonderful photo opportunities.

Luisenburg Cross Rock (Bundesstein)

Highlight • Summit

At 785 meters, the Luisenburg cross rock is the highest point in the rock labyrinth of the Luisenburg. A climb up to the wooden cross is worthwhile.

Kaiser-Wilhelm-Felsen Viewing Platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

A nice view from the built platform on a rock. The small detour is worthwhile and is not quite as crowded.

Kösseinehaus

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Kösseinehaus is definitely worth the drive. Not only the Rundrumaussicht, but also the beautifully landscaped guest area are recommended. Indoor and outdoor seating, therefore, even in slightly worse weather …

Little Haberstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

Both the small and the large Haberstein lie in the massif of the Kössine. The Big Haberstein is about 200 meters away from the little one, if you want to get a little more air.

Enjoyed the last day of the ice age in the Fichtelgebirge, we started at -8 from the car park, unfortunately no frost magic, but wonderfully glittering snow and pure sunshine, the wind was absolutely icy and the mulled wine in the Kösseinehaus was definitely deserved 🥶☀️

In the evening we had tickets for the Luisenburg. It was warm but many shady paths, these covered with roots and stones.

Today I laced my hiking boots again - first the rock labyrinth Luisenburg was visited and then it went over the "Franconian mountain path" to the Kösseinehaus. At the entrance to the rock labyrinth I was able to pick up a Bavaria - discoverer - stamp, so I'm still missing 30 of the 50 stamps. Let's see what's going on …

My favorite hike
By Gunter Meichner

I also hiked a lot before I joined the Fichtelgebirge Association. But I was an amateur hiker and just wanted to know more. In the Fichtelgebirge Association I was given the opportunity to do well-founded training. Then in 2006 I joined the Fichtelgebirge association in the Wunsiedel home group. In 2008 I finally did …

Very nice hiking tour in a very nice area. The weather and time made the hike even more interesting. It was a shame that you couldn't enjoy the view as usual, but in this weather the hike was a bit of a challenge. The restaurant "Kßeinehaus" is very recommendable and was just awesome. Very good food and a recommended beer …

A tour that is always impressive, especially if you take the rock labyrinth with you!
Especially if someone has never been there, the €6 entry fee is worth it.
The large Kösseine with the opportunity to stop gives you a fantastic view and on the way back the Grosse Habersteinfelsen is a great opportunity to sit protected in the sun …

We left the thick blanket of fog in the valley today. It didn't matter on the high-altitude trail through the forest; the sun greeted us brightly at the summit. The Fichtel Mountains lay at our feet.
