Upper Franconia walks

Froschgrundsee is a short hike in Upper Franconia, which is partially barrier-free. Start your leisurely hike at the Froschgrundbrücke car park. The trail takes you around the picturesque Froschgrundsee lake for just under five kilometres. Enjoy the idyllic landscape and the tranquillity of nature, which is particularly reflected in the mirror-like water of the lake. The route is flat and well maintained, making it ideal for families and leisurely walkers. After your walk, the Froschgrundsee restaurant, located directly on the lake, awaits you. Here you can fortify yourself with regional specialities and let your gaze wander over the water. A perfect end to a wonderful outing.

The 3.4-kilometre-long hiking trail is the perfect family outing and features wooded paths, a bee hotel and 22 information boards that offer fascinating insights into nature. Thanks to the gentle gradient and plenty of shade, it’s also a pleasant walk.

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.

The town of Coburg has a lot to offer in many respects. Firstly, there is the Veste, which towers high above the town and boasts a long history. Between it and the beautiful old town lies a park with magnificent old trees. At the lower end is Ehrenburg Castle, which the noble lords later had built for ceremonial purposes. And finally, the old town itself, which certainly holds its own against these two magnificent sites.
