Erbendorf is located at the foot of the Fichtelgebirge, surrounded by green forests and rolling hills. The town is famous for its annual folk festival "Erbendorfer Wiesenfest", which attracts thousands of visitors every year. Here you can enjoy traditional Bavarian food and dance to live music.

Tirschenreuth, on the other hand, is captivating with its charming 16th-century half-timbered houses and the impressive Falkenberg and Liebenstein castle ruins. Another highlight of the town is the annual "Stadtfest" (town festival) with a varied programme of music acts, artisans and culinary delights.

For nature lovers, both towns offer a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling along the numerous river courses or on the well-marked hiking trails in the Fichtelgebirge. In winter, the area turns into a paradise for skiers with kilometres of slopes to ski down.

Even when the weather is bad, there are plenty of options: In Erbendorf, the indoor swimming pool invites you to swim while in Tirschenreuth you can take a look at the porcelain museum - here you will find a collection of over 20,000 pieces from the region.

The culinary diversity in Erbendorf and Tirschenreuth is also remarkable: from hearty Bavarian dishes to international specialities, you will find everything your heart desires.

Erbendorf and Tirschenreuth are definitely worth a visit - whether for a weekend trip or a longer stay. Learn more about these charming towns in the north-east of Bavaria with our comprehensive Travel Guide!

    Eine der landschaftlich schönsten Touren die wir in Deutschland je gefahren sind. Die Beschreibung des Autors passt sehr gut. Der Track weicht in Teilen vom beschilderten Steinwaldradweg ab, verläuft aber immer parallel dazu. Ich empfehle der Beschilderung zu folgen, da man ansonsten schöne Streckenanschnitte verpasst. „Sehr empfehlenswert“
