Fichtelsee

Highlight • Lake

It is always beautiful at Fichtelsee, even if there is usually a lot going on on Sundays. The jetty is a great place for photo opportunities 😎☕️

Although the Fichtelsee has its origins in mining, today it is a really beautiful, natural and almost romantic place. In 1650, a ditch was dug from Hochgmoor to Fichtelberg to drain water and use it to drive the hammers. As a result, the moor dried out more and more. So in 1739 a reservoir was built: the Fichtelsee. In 1983 it was enlarged to a total of around eleven hectares.

It is great to cycle around the lake. In summer it invites you to go swimming or boating. In winter you can ice skate on an ice rink on the shore of the Fichtelsee. What's particularly cool is that the ice is illuminated and you can rent ice skates on site. Here in the north of the lake begins the Seelohe nature reserve, where you will find typical raised moor vegetation.

Waldhotel at Fichtelsee

Highlight • Restaurant

Very nice restaurant which is beautifully situated on the Fichtelsee. The food is good and the price is reasonable for the location.

There are various events throughout the year. It's best to have a look at the website am-fichtelsee.de

During Christmas time there is a small winter village with various stalls.

Bridges at Fichtelsee

Highlight • Bridge

As of today, November 24th, 2021, you can cross the two new bridges I think they look appropriate and go well with the lake and the hotel ’
