Geographical location and special features: Mistelbach is idyllically situated between the hills of the Fichtelgebirge and the river Eger. The region is known for its picturesque landscapes and the numerous hiking and cycling trails through forests, fields and valleys.

Tourist attractions: One of Mistelbach's main attractions is the 18th century Thurnau Castle with its impressive baroque garden. St. Vitus Church with its Romanesque tower is also worth a visit.

Cultural highlights and events: For visitors interested in culture, there is the annual festival "Thurnauer Schlosskonzerte" as well as various exhibitions in the Kunsthaus Sanspareil or in the Porzellanikon Selb.

Culinary specialities: The regional cuisine in Mistelbach is characterised by hearty dishes such as Bratwurst, Saure Zipfel (sausages in sour sauce) or Bierfleisch (beef cooked in beer). A fresh Pilsner from one of the many breweries in the area goes perfectly with this.

Outdoor activities: In the warmer months you can go hiking, cycling or swimming - for example at the nearby Weißenstädter See lake. In winter, skiing and cross-country skiing in the Fichtelgebirge mountains are ideal.

Where is the most beautiful place in Mistelbach? The Thurnau Castle Park or the picturesque alleys of the historic city centre of Bayreuth are particularly recommended for a stroll. A detour to the nearby Waldstein is also worthwhile for a breathtaking view of the region.

What do you do in Mistelbach when it rains? If the weather is bad, you can visit the Porzellanikon Selb, where you can learn more about the history and manufacture of porcelain. Alternatively, the leisure pool "Lohengrin Therme" in Bayreuth also offers recreation and relaxation in any weather.

Mistelbach is definitely worth a trip and offers numerous opportunities for outdoor adventures, cultural discoveries as well as culinary delights. We hope this guide will help you make the most of your time here!

    Wunderschöne, kurze Wanderung, großteils im Wald, viele Bächlein rundherum, tolle Natur und perfekte Markierungen mit zusätzlichen interessanten Infotafeln! Sehr empfehlenswert!

    Hallo zusammen, ich habe die Tour diese Woche mit meinem Hardtail-MTB (ohne Motor) absolviert und möchte ein kurzes Feedback geben. Meine Tagesetappen mit guten Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten waren: Bayreuth - Ebermannstadt Ebermannstadt - Pegnitz Pegnitz - Bayreuth In Summe waren zum Schluss 210km und 2400 Höhenmeter auf dem Tacho (kleine Abstecher und Anfahrten zur Unterkunft inklusive). Luftdruck war sehr stabil, von daher sollten die Höhenmeter verlässlich sein. Die Navigation über die GPS-Daten war sehr zuverlässig. Insgesamt eine harte, anstrengende Tour, die einen dafür aber auch mit einigen schönen Tälern und Panoramablicken belohnt! Auf sehr vielen Abschnitten ist man gänzlich alleine Unterwegs und kann die Natur (Rehe, Vögel usw.) genießen. Die meisten Orte liegen in einem kleinen Kessel, dass heißt es ist ein ständiges Bergauf-Bergab mit teils kernigen Steigungen bis 10%. Hier hieß es Kraft einteilen und öfter mal schieben. Das erklärt auch den "romantischen" Teil dieser Tour gemäß dem Motto "wer sein Fahrrad liebt, der schiebt" :-) Die Wege sind abschnittsweise sehr grob geschottert. Einige kurze Abschnitte scheinen heuer frisch mit Split aufgefüllt zu sein. Breite Stollenreifen sind auf jeden Fall Pflicht! Schönen Dank an die Autorin der Tour!
