The second run to Fichtelberg.  We want to prove ourselves again! But not like those "pay-for-it" and "carry nothing, just tough it out" customers from the official march, but in the hardcore version with 15kg of luggage!

    Eine wunderbare Wanderung mit vielen interessanten Punkten zum Mitmachen - nicht nur für Kinder. Sehr gut ausgeschildert. Am Ende eine geniale Möglichkeit Foto's im überdimensionierten Rahmen zu 'schießen' 😄

    Sehr schöner Rundwanderweg. Die Steigungen sind moderat und auch für ungeübte Wanderer gut in der angegebenen Zeit zu bewältigen. Es gibt immer wieder Bänke zum Verweilen und bei schönem Wetter auch sicher schöne Weitblicke. Auf jeden Fall sollte man außerhalb sommerlichen Wetters an windabweisende Kleidung und eine Kopfbedeckung denken.
