Departure from Fichtelberg (Upper Franconia)
Nestled amidst breathtaking scenery between two nature parks, the Fichtelsee – covering an area of around 10 hectares – lies at an altitude of 750 metres. The surrounding high forest offers wonderful hiking along shaded paths. Without any extreme changes in altitude, you can reach both the idyllic Nußhardt summit in the Fichtelgebirge Nature Park and the highest point in the Steinwald Nature Park, the Platte. This hike combines these three natural beauties in a varied tour.
