The Kösseinehaus is definitely worth the drive. Not only the Rundrumaussicht, but also the beautifully landscaped guest area are recommended. Indoor and outdoor seating, therefore, even in slightly worse weather …

March 4, 2026,Fichtelgebirgshalbmarathon 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️ vom Feinsten 😎🥰👍

My sincerest thanks go to Georg for inviting me on this wonderful Fichtelgebirge tour. It was a chilly 4°C when we started in Tröstau, but after gaining just a few meters of elevation on the way to the Hohe Matze, we were already warmed up! 🤣🤣👍

comment follows. The pictures actually say it all. It was nice. After 14.8 km I should have planned a better route. About 1.2 km we went straight on gravel.

Kösseinehaus is closed on Mondays.

Oh yes, the blue path in the rock labyrinth is sometimes quite narrow and low.
