Lake House Fichtelgebirge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

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!

Relaxed? Sweating from the ass, hair a joke, three weather taffeta wasn't necessary, we were killing our leg muscles. The spirit is free and the body is now mush. Thanks to my son, who completed this march with his old man without grumbling or complaining. There are 62 of us in total.

December 27, 2025,Zwischen den Jahren im Fichtelgebirge: Eine Runde mit Fichtelsee, Hasenberg, Platte, Nußhardt, Schneeberg und Haberstein

Between Christmas and New Year's, I was drawn outdoors again. After a long period of frost, the weather was supposed to turn sunny, and the granite formations of the Fichtel Mountains beckoned. With a slight worry about whether all the small paths in the Fichtel Mountains would still be visible, I set off from Munich very early. My concern was …

June 13, 2023,9. Etappe Fränkischer Gebirgsweg (13.06.2023)

Used a few days off to continue walking the Franconian Mountain Trail. I stopped at Fichtelsee two years ago and started again here.

The journey with the Deutschlandticket was a bit adventurous. Overcrowded trains, two out of three trains late, only the last connection was on time to the minute. But that's a good thing, because the transfer time to …

October 29, 2022,von Oberölbühl zum Schneeberg über Nagel zurück

With the first rays of sunshine we started today to climb the highest mountain in the Fichtelgebirge, the Schneeberg 🏔️(1051m). The ascent was via the Fichtelsee, always along the "Franconian mountain path". Up to the summit it is more likely to be a hiking highway. Arrived at the top, first climbed onto the observation tower on the oven. From there …
