🏄 Lakeside path around Weißenstädter Lake

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The shore path leads around the Weißenstädter See, an easily walkable four-kilometer circular route. Since the surface is completely asphalted and the course is almost at ground level, it is one of the most popular walking paths in the Fichtelgebirge. It is also ideal for wheelchair users.

Memorial Stone at Weißenstädter See

Highlight • Monument

The memorial stone reminds us that the lake was rebuilt in 1976 where the Weißenstadt town pond originally stood. This was sold in 1820, divided into plots and drained. The town bought the land back in the mid-1970s and rebuilt the lake, which is used exclusively for recreational purposes.

It is always nice to walk along the water, and when the sun warms up a bit, it feels good

A full circuit of Lake Weißenstadt. If you prefer peace and quiet, this is the place for you. There are 14 granite steles around the lake with poetry intended to encourage meditation. The words "mine" and "yours" are important, using different terms. It's not a bad idea at all 🙂
