Hiking

On this circular tour, you'll discover the Große Teichpfanne near Tirschenreuth. The area encompasses over 2,000 ponds. These seemingly endless expanses of water have stretched north of the town for 1,000 years. The route takes you along the ponds and through marshlands.

A highlight is the Himmelsleiter (Stairway to Heaven)…

Beaver Habitat in Upper Palatinate

Highlight • Natural

Beavers live here, which can be seen repeatedly in the trees. Here, a beaver is currently working on a rather thick, two-trunked tree. Valuable trees, such as old oaks, have therefore been secured with wire at ground level.

It was a lovely tour with beautiful weather. We saw three snakes in total, including a black adder and two grass snakes, one of which was swimming 🥰

Wonderful circular hiking trail (No. 5 and 4 of the Tirschenreuth hiking map) over a large fish pond landscape and nice forest paths. The tour can also be shortened at 2 points if the route is too long
