Our hike started at the parking lot at the Epprechtstein Information Center. From there, our path led to the Hohen Stein, a vantage point with a beautiful view of the Fichtel Mountains. We continued to the Lamitzbrunnen, a natural spring. We stopped briefly for a drink at the Luisentisch, a historic rest area. A highlight for us was the multitude …

Actually, a long day tour was finally planned again today. With prospects of almost 30°C 😅 even in the Fichtelgebirge, we slimmed down to a small but nice morning lap. The paths are well known - but always beautiful and the route is peppered with quarries, castles, springs and rocks. But the most beautiful are the stony, rooty, narrow paths …
