Karchesweiher

Highlight • Lake

Numerous hiking trails start from this small lake and the adjacent car park. Since the Karchessee is located directly on the B 303, it is not so idyllic.

July 29, 2024,Von Bad Berneck um den Ochsenkopf rum

It was a wonderful circuit around the Ochsenkopf. The Fichtel Mountains air is really good. After starting in Bad Berneck, the route went steeply to Bärnreuth and Wülfersreuth. The food in the Karches forest inn is always delicious and there was music with coffee at the Fichtelsee. The 10 km descent from Bischofsgrün to Bad Berneck was also an experience.
