Rittersteig to the ruins of Epprechtstein Castle

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A very special path: narrow, steep, with many granite steps.

Epprechtstein Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

After the strenuous ascent to the castle you can make a nice rest (benches and a table are available) and enjoy the great all-round view of the Fichtelgebirge on the viewing platform. The path to the castle can be reached via steps (made of stones) - a railing is here only partially available (a little bit sure-footedness is therefore absolutely necessary).

Luisentisch Rest Area

Highlight • Rest Area

The Epprechtstein came in honor in 1805 when the Prussian royal couple Friedrich Wilhelm III visited. and his wife Luise. For this purpose, new paths were created, tables and benches were set up and the steps up to the castle ruins were built. The Luis table below the castle ruins commemorates this event, and you can still take a break here today, as the royal couple once did.

Wolfsfelsbruch Quarry and Cabin

Highlight • Structure

The quarry hiking trail leads through six quarries (Lenks-Bruch, Alberts-Bruch, Schoberts-Bruch (Steinhauerhütte), Geyers-Bruch, Blauer Bruch, Schloßbrunnen-Bruch) and provides information about previous granite work with the help of information boards, the length is about 3. 5 km. The hiking trail, also suitable for cycling, leads past old walls and large tailings to six quarries, a powder chamber, a protective shelter and a loading ramp at the foot of the Epprechtstein. Information boards at the individual stations familiarize hikers with the creation of granite, its extraction, processing and transport. The Wolfsfelsbruch is not part of the quarry circular hiking trail, but it is still worth it. tz-fichtelgebirge.de/de/touren/detail/5784a929975aeb1d14ee6249

Braurangenbruch Quarry Pond

Highlight • Lake

If you want to learn something about the history of granite extraction and stonemasonry, you can do this on the 3.5 km long quarry circular hiking trail on Epprechtstein. The gently rising hiking trail leads past old walls and large tailings to six quarries, a powder chamber, a protective shelter and a loading ramp at the foot of the Epprechtstein. Information boards at the individual stations familiarize hikers with the creation of granite, its extraction, processing and transport.

Lamitz Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

The river Lamitz rises near Kirchenlamitz and flows into the Saxon Saale near Fattigau. The Lamitzbrunnen, also known as the Lamitz spring, is located at 793 m above the Klein Waldstein in a landscape conservation area. The source, captured by the FGV Kirchenlamitz in 1929, is considered a natural monument. The first tributary flows right behind the source.
