September 2, 2021,Platte – Seehaus - Fichtelsee

The descent from the Platte in the direction of the Seehaus is definitely not recommended for donkeys in the upper part. There are slabs of rock stacked on top of one another, which offer little support for the hooves, and also crevices into which a donkey's leg can slip. This section is harmless for human hikers, as long as you …

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 🌲🍁

A beautiful day in the Fichtel Mountains with a summit cross and all the trimmings.
The trail starts at the Silberhütte hiking car park. From there, the trail is well-marked, leading up to the summit of the Platte. Huge granite boulders and a magnificent view of the valley. Continue along paths and root-covered trails toward the Seehaus, an Alpine-style inn …

January 13, 2022,Durch das tief verschneite Fichtelgebirge mit meinem Shakespeare

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 ...

December 14, 2022,Wintertour ❄️ Seehaus - Platte - Fichtelsee 🐾

After my injured dog could finally be operated on, unfortunately only three of us went out. However, it was wonderful to finally be able to walk a short distance again. Pure winter wonderland. Quiet, away from the crowd and snowfall made the experience something special again ❄️⭐🐾
