Departure from Schleiz (Saale-Orla-Kreis)
The River Saale rises in the Fichtelgebirge and then winds its way along as the former inner-German border river between Bavaria and Thuringia. Once it reaches the Thuringian Slate Mountains, it flows through five cascades, one of which is the Bleiloch reservoir with the adjacent Burgkhammer dam. A truly enchanting landscape surrounds the Saale meanders here near the small village of Burgk, situated on a hill high above the river. Its history is closely linked to the famous Burgk Castle.

Departure from Weißenstadt (Upper Franconia)
The largest lake in the heart of the Fichtelgebirge is Lake Weißenstadt near Weißenstadt. An asphalted lakeside path runs around the lake, which covers around 50 hectares, and is easy to walk along even with a pram, pushchair or walking frame. No wonder it is one of the most popular day-trip destinations in the wider area.
