Lake House Fichtelgebirge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A short, crisp climb - what could be better than a good snack and a cool drink, before you take more trails under the wheels. Good and cozy stop!

Wooden bridge over the Fichtelsee

Highlight • Bridge

Two new arch bridges were erected at Fichtelsee in September 2021. They replace the two dilapidated wooden buildings that stood here before. If you stand on the bridge, you have a wonderful view over the lake to the Schneeberg.

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.

.....on the way in the Fichtelgebirge, Easter Sunday couldn't have been nicer 🙂☀️
It went from Karches to the Fichtelsee, then up to the Seehaus and back again via the Nußhardt.
