Discover the region

Geographically, Berg is located on the edge of the Fichtelgebirge, which invites you to go hiking or mountain biking with its rolling hills and dense forests. In winter, you can even go skiing or cross-country skiing here. Also recommended are excursions to the nearby Vogtland region and to Bohemia.

But it's not just nature that has a lot to offer in Berg: Visit the Schauenstein castle ruins, for example, which tower high above the town and offer a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside. Faber-Castell Castle from the 18th century is also worth a visit - today it houses a museum for historical pencils.

Cultural highlights can be found especially during the summer months: the open-air festival "BergFunk" attracts music fans from near and far, while the traditional Kirchweihfest celebrates.

And what would a trip be without culinary discoveries? In Berg, you should definitely try the Franconian Sauerbraten - typical of this region, it is particularly tender and juicy at the same time. A cool beer from one of the many breweries in the area is an excellent accompaniment.

For outdoor activities, the months from spring to autumn are particularly suitable - then you can cycle along the river on the nearby Main cycle path, for example, or swim in the outdoor pool in Berg. If the weather is bad, a visit to the Bad Steben thermal baths is a good idea, which are only a few kilometres away and provide relaxation with their saunas and wellness offers.

All in all, Berg in the district of Hof is a destination that has a lot to offer both nature lovers and those interested in culture. Let yourself be enchanted by this charming place!

    Wir sind die Tour etwas gekürzt und mit Start/Ziel Rudolphstein im Herbst 2017 gewandert. Sehr abwechslunsgreich, schöner Ausblick vom Wiedeturm und von der Aussichtsplattform in Pottiga ins Saaletal. Besonders lohnend ist der Audio-Guide von Frankenwald Tourismus (vorher aufs Handy als mp3 geladen) mit den vielen interessanten Grenz-Geschichten aus der DDR-Zeit! Sehr zu empfehlen!

    Sehr schöne Aussichtspunkte bei Pottiga und auch in Blankenberg! Doch auch hier den Sternabzug aufgrund der nicht so gut begehbaren Betonplatten. Deren Löcher sind eine echte Unfallgefahr (Umknicken)!
