Girgel Cave

Highlight • Cave

Interesting rock formation (granite). A small path leads to the top of the cavernous rocks (wooden staircase / ladder) - worthwhile. In the summer months: beware of ticks ...

Lake House Fichtelgebirge

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!

A quiet and idyllic resting place on the Gregnitz. Here the stream still meanders wildly through nature. The shady spot invites a relaxing break.
