A nice route for hobby hikers with manageable topography. It leads about half through forest and half over open terrain. The paths are mostly wider forest roads. There is also a small section of trail. Even on village connections with hardly any traffic, there are short sections along them.

On a somewhat unusual route from Schirnding to Windischeschenbach. Along the way, there is a lot to see, which is twice as beautiful in autumn.

One of the most beautiful hiking routes in Schirnding leads to the nearby Armesberg. The climb may be demanding, but the breathtaking views over the Fichtelgebirge make up for every single step. Particularly impressive here are the colourful autumn hues when the leaves slowly change colour and form a veritable carpet of colour.

For families with children, the circular trail around the Schloßbergsee lake is ideal. Here, little adventurers can go on a discovery tour and get to know rare plant and animal species. The trail is well signposted and leads through a varied natural landscape.

Another highlight is the "Border Hiking Trail", which runs along the former Iron Curtain. On this route, hikers have the opportunity to experience history at first hand and learn about the region's eventful past from information boards.

The best seasons for hiking in Schirnding are spring and autumn. During these months, the weather is pleasantly mild and nature shows its most beautiful side. In spring, numerous flowers blossom at the edge of the path and in autumn the foliage turns into a true spectacle of colour.
