Weller Valley (Eger Valley)

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

Okay as a walker. Very beautiful landscape. However, the Kaiserweg is shared with mountain bikers and sometimes even with cars! Rather too undemanding for an experienced hiker. Open your eyes, …

May 22, 2024,Selb/Gut Blumenthal: Membran-Test [🌧️] im Tal der Eger 🧔🏻‍♂️

Planning a komoot route is good, saving offline is better... if you want to start in a valley with no network at all 😉 Luckily I looked at the route again beforehand, pressed record and off we went - 98% match with the planned route. 👍😊🧔🏻‍♂️

June 25, 2023,Fränkischer Gebirgsweg im Egertal

For Sunday a partly relaxed tour in Franconian 😊
The way there was pure enjoyment! But the way back had some surprises in store (not so nice for me this time). Among other things, paths that were difficult to walk through the forestry operation, then a path that didn't exist at all but just a field edge with admittedly beautiful, …

September 29, 2024,Egertal Hike

From the Upper Palatinate we went to the Upper Franconian-Czech border region on the Eger.
The river, which later flows into the Elbe, rises in the Fichtel Mountains and we checked on things today just before it flows into the Czech Republic in the Eger Valley near Neuhaus. It was a really beautiful hike to the right and left of …

November 14, 2021,Egerstausee – Romantisches Egertal Runde von Silberbach aus

Last year we were here on our bikes. My husband was so enthusiastic that he really wanted to come here again, but on foot. Since we didn't just want to walk back and forth, we looked for an existing round tour in advance, changed it slightly and off we went. We would have liked a little more sun, but you …

June 16, 2024,Selb 🅿️ 🏡 Gut Blumenthal: Rund um die Eger 💦 🌳 🪨

Today we went on a hike that we had been planning for a long time. We hiked along the Eger near the Czech border near Selb. It was very beautiful at first, right next to the river and the reservoir, and there were lots of walkers, hikers and, above all, cyclists. The way back went along the other side, back …
