Very nice round. No roads. Beautiful ways. Many small paths, often on water. Absolutely suitable for dogs @Fichtelgebirgsverein e. V. Only the Klausenturm was still closed. This is not suitable for dogs.

We walked the Brunnenweg from Fichtelberg. It's actually called Brunnenweg Mehlmeisel and starts at the Bayreuther Haus.
We started at the parking lot in Fichtelberg, where the Oktoberfest took place a few days ago. Past the Moosknock fountain and the health fountain, to the Klausenturm and the Bayreuther Haus. From there via Hüttstadl and Neugrün back to Fichtelberg.

A very beautiful hike that I can definitely recommend. A varied route (forest and meadows). Along the way, there are several Kneipp pools and a fitness trail. If you want to get high, climb the Klausenturm (open from May to October). The Bayreuther Haus offers delicious food and fresh drinks, along with a fantastic view.
