Maps and trails
Goldkronach lies at the foot of the Fichtel Mountains and is surrounded by a picturesque landscape. The town itself is known for its historic old town with numerous half-timbered houses as well as the impressive town parish church of St. Bartholomew from the 15th century. Another highlight is Goldkronach Castle, which is now used as the town hall.

Culturally, Goldkronach has a lot to offer - visit the local history museum, for example, or enjoy a performance at the theatre in the old town. The annual events such as the castle festival in summer or the Christmas market at Advent are also highly recommended.

For culinary delights, you should definitely not miss the regional specialities: Try the famous beer brandy "Goldkrone" or taste local dishes such as bratwurst and garlic soup.

Those who like to be active can also get their money's worth here: Hiking and cycling through the beautiful nature of the Fichtelgebirge are particularly popular. In winter, the nearby Ochsenkopf ski area also beckons with perfect conditions for skiing and snowboarding.

But what to do in bad weather? Goldkronach has a solution for that too: visit the indoor swimming pool or relax in the sauna at the local fitness studio.

In short, Goldkronach is definitely worth a visit, whether for those interested in culture and history, nature lovers or active holidaymakers. Come by and experience the beauty of this charming town in the north of Bavaria for yourself!

    Sehr schöne Wanderung ,mit dem Problem kurz vor dem Fürstenstein. hier sollte man auf Waldweg bleiben, dann folgt ein kleiner Wegweisen zum Fürstenstein. Auch ist kurz vor Goldkronach ist der Weg plötzlich durch ein Holztor versperrt, welches man aber leicht öffnen kann , hier muss man über eine Schafsweide gehen. Weiter unten ist dann wieder ein Wegweiser.

    GPS Trail kurz vor dem Fürstenstein irreführend: der Pfad geht nicht nördlich den Berg runter, sondern westlich (und folgt dem kleinen Trampelpfad). Weiters gibt es kurz danach eine "kritische" Stelle: vor dem Hinteren Goldberg ist der vom Waldweg südlich abbiegende Pfad kaum zu finden; müsste direkt nach der Lichtung abzweigen.

    Ruhige schöne Tour, auf zumeist breiten Wald- und Feldwegen, die wir in 2:45 Std. bewältigt haben. Wenn man sich die Karte vorher runter lädt ist die Strecke problemlos zu finden. Das ist allerdings Voraussetzung.

    Ab dem Fürstenstein ist die Beschreibung ungenau, der Weg konnte nicht gefunden werden.
