Trail Reviews
Entertaining, perfectly marked route that mostly runs along beautiful forest paths/trails. The automobile museum and the Gleissinger Fels visitor mine are also on the route (note opening times). And every now and then, when we walked through a particularly beautiful part of the forest, we sometimes thought that it wouldn't be surprising if a dwarf or elf came around the corner.. Today, in Bocksgraben, it actually happened..🧙♂️🧚♂️
A beautiful, relaxing hike. Pure peace and quiet! Caution is advised on some sections of the trail, as a lot of wet leaves cover the roots and stones underneath. Slippery!
A beautiful circular trail. Highly recommended and well signposted!
great tour I expanded it to include the box ditch. There was enough snow and I challenged my feet with barefoot shoes ❄️ There was always one or the other new thing for me, which satisfied my urge to explore.
Winter tour in the Fichtel Mountains (Circular hiking trail 2) Starting point Fichtelberg. At the Bleaml Alm the first people were out with their sleds and on the lower ring path the cross-country skiers have already left their mark. Unfortunately it is already thawing again, it is dripping from all the trees. The paths were still easy to walk on though. Slightly thawed snow, good grip, a little slippery in places but with a little "care" it is easy to walk on. The sun had a hard time breaking through today though. I thoroughly enjoyed the winter tour, it was quiet and almost unused.
Fichtelgebirge hike Today we go home and we decided to go for a hike. Let's go from Fichtelberg from the hiking car park past the 🚙 mobile museum. On the Naglerweg turn left into the forest. There is some storm damage to cross here. Uphill, cross the 303 and continue on the path opposite. Up to Sachsen Ruh and Lug ins Land Felsen. Continue to the Fichtelsee. You can do well here 🍜🍴 🍻. But we wait until the Bleaml Alm. Shortly after the Fichtelsee we turn left over the two streets and straight ahead up the forest path. Up here the path turns left and we follow path 2 of the cross-country ski tracks. Here a short break and then left on the narrow path slightly down then right up again. Past the Fichtelnaab we are on the Steinweg with marble, quartz, phylite (mica slate), gneiss consists of the same components as granite, it differs only in the slate storage of the individual components. gravel is mainly produced from gneiss. Continue to the Bleaml Alm. Here in this beautiful Alm with a small ski lift you can really relax before continuing. Then it goes straight across the slope and towards the road. You have to walk a bit on the road, then you could go to the Schmiererweg, but take the path on the Bocksgraben along the Fichtelnaab. We actually wanted to go to the Bocksgraben factory, which is closed. There are all kinds of great things to see on the Bocksgrabenweg. Funny gnomes and all kinds of things adorn the path. Then through the small village on the left past the Scottish highland cattle, continue on the forest path 2 . You walk on a Biebelweg towards the starting point of the Fichtelberg hiking car park.
Start in Fichtelberg from the fire station parking lot. 20 participants 👍 Varied forest paths via the automobile museum, Fichtelsee, Lug into the country to the Bleaml Alm. There you have lunch and continue the hike back to the starting point.
