Spiel wie nix Adventure Playground

Highlight • Rest Area

Once you have conquered the Kordigast, a real highlight awaits you with the new Celtic adventure playground. All play equipment is made of wood and indicates the past of the mountain as a former settlement area of the Celts. Not only does it look awesome, it's a lot of fun too! At the information boards you can find out more about the life of the Celts and at the long tables there is space for your picnic. The play huts can also be used to stay overnight: Free of charge and without registration!

⛰️ Great Kordigast

Highlight • Summit

Great viewpoint over Altenkunstadt with view of Plassenburg Kulmbach and Veste Coburg. There are not many places where you can see the two large fortresses / Burganlangen. On foot and with bike worth a stop!

Very nice hike to the Kordigast summit cross. Short stop at the Steinerne Hochzeit for coffee and cake. Great view from Kordigast. Worthwhile, not too difficult hike. Parking available at the construction yard in Weismain.

Accompanied by the childish chorus of goats, we climbed to Kordigast. There, we were warmly welcomed with singing by a group of men from Sand am Main. We were even allowed to sing along, and accompanied by three cheerful Moggala, we made our way back down to the valley.

A surprisingly beautiful tour. Through agricultural valleys, past goats and sheep, meadows and forests. I thought a farmer's wife would come around the corner with a hay rake. Totally idyllic and nostalgic. At the top of the mountain there is the most beautiful playground I have ever seen. It even has a toilet. In the middle of the forest. There …

Winter's day in the Fichtelgebirge, or spring in the Main Valley?
Spring won and we tackled the big and small Kordigast. A wonderfully promising hike, even a little scrambling to the summit of the small Kordigast was there. We followed the Schlauwienix-Weg, a beautifully landscaped nature and culture trail starting from Weismain.
Great circular hike with a really wonderful view …

To get to the starting point of this hike, you have to turn into the street "Zum Reut" in Pfaffendorf. A small lane leads out of the village and up to the hiking car park at the Gasthaus Waldfrieden (Kordigast).
This circular route starts here and initially leads you further uphill until the red dot marking branches off to the …

The sun 🌞 shone so beautifully that I went on a short hike at lunchtime. I started at the Kordigast hiking car park and along frozen forest paths up to the Großer Kordigast with its summit cross and a panoramic view of the country. 🤩 I was all alone up there, the wind was whistling around my ears and my …
