Schlossberg Hossenburg and Granite Trail

Highlight • Castle

In the last section, just before the castle, there is still a construction site, but it is easy to get past.
Once you are at the top of the castle, you can no longer see the construction site.

Hammerbühl Quarry Lake

Highlight • Lake

Here you have a beautiful view of the ruins of Flossenbürg Castle.

However, the quarry lake shown here is a bit further and not exactly here.

Quarry lake with ladder in Naturpark Nördlicher Oberpfälzer Wald

Highlight • Lake

In the corner there are several quarry lakes, but sometimes it is very difficult or impossible to get to the water. It's different here. There is a ladder that is still fairly stable. We got up and down well, but you should be careful. At the bottom you have a small plateau which is great for a picnic. You can sit on the edge and put your feet in the water. There are very small fish that tickle your legs. But there are also big carp in the water that are not at all shy, on the contrary they are very curious and come close to the shore. A very special place. Just great!

Little Gais Pond

Highlight • Lake

There was no one at the small Gaisweiher pond, even though it was 30 degrees Celsius. So, if you're looking for solitude, this is the place for you. A wonderful spot. 😍

There's definitely more going on at the large Gaisweiher pond. But it's also more developed, with a snack bar, a campsite, and so on.
