Views to the highest Fichtel Mountains over green high plateauAbove Mehlmeisel is the most popular and longest winter "surviving" ski slope in the Fichtel Mountains on the Klausenhang, which faces northeast. Even in summer, "the Klausen" is an attractive destination for visitors to the region, not least because of the information center and the Waldhaus Mehlmeisel animal park.

    Hinweis: Wer die Beschreibung: "Natürlich findet man entlang der Route auch Wirtshäuser, Restaurants und Biergärten zur gemütlichen Einkehr“ zum Anlass für die Wanderung genommen hat, sollte ggfs. vorab prüfen ob geöffnet ist. Das Grenzhaus öffnet leider erst 17 Uhr (ausser Sonntag da 11 Uhr) und am Nageler See befindet sich ein Kiosk, dessen Öffnungszeiten offensichtlich täglich neu ausgelost werden. Pizzeria in Nagel ist geschlossen für immer. In Reichenbach ist uns durch eine von uns gewählte Wegvariante ein zur Mittagszeit geöffneter Gasthof und ein Café entgangen, worauf uns Michael Feigl hinwies. Ansonsten eine ausgesprochen abwechslungsreiche und sehr schöne Wanderung.

    Schöne und nicht zu schwere Tour, die auch im Winter gut zu gehen ist. Sehenswert ist das Bayreuther Haus mir seinen Wild-Tiergehege.

    Durch nen mit Zaun abgesperrten Waldweg am Anfang, ist die Tour jetzt locker 20 km. Aber die teilweise naturbelassenen Pfade sind richtig gut.
