Discover the region

Presseck is nestled between the hills of the Franconian Forest and thus offers numerous opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling or skiing. The best seasons for this are spring, summer and autumn. In winter, however, you can also enjoy the snow-covered landscapes.

A highlight for hikers is the "Grenzlandweg". This premium hiking trail leads through the Fichtel Mountains to the Thuringian Forest and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding nature.

Culturally, Presseck has a lot to offer with the local history museum. Here you can learn everything about the history of the town and about the life of people in earlier times. It is also worth visiting the St.St. Nicholas Church from the 17th century.

For culinary delights, regional specialities such as Franconian bratwurst or beer from one of the many breweries in the area.

If it rains, we recommend a visit to the Obernsees thermal baths just a few kilometres away or to one of the numerous museums in Kulmbach such as the the German Pewter Museum or the Plassenburg Museum.

The most beautiful thing to do in Presseck along the Grenzlandweg is to take a walk through the idyllic forest or relax in one of the cosy inns.

Presseck, district of Kulmbach is thus an ideal destination for nature and culture enthusiasts as well as for those who like to be active. This Travel Guide gives you an overview of everything you need to know to make your stay unforgettable.

    Der Weg ist auch im Winter bei Schnee gut zu begehen. Die Karte stimmt aber teilweise nicht ganz mit der tatsächlichen Wegführung überein, aber es ist auch nicht kompliziert den Weg zu finden. Mit unseren Hunden hatten wir am Waffenhammer das Problem dass der Weg direkt an einem Grundstück mit 2 sehr großen anderen Hunden vorbeiführt, da sind wir etwas auf Distanz geblieben aber dann war alles gut.

    Sehr schöne Tour mit herrlichen herbstlich gefärbten Landschaften. Der Knock-Turm in Presseck wird wie wir efuhren, demnächst w/Baufälligkeit abgerissen. Ein Highlight weniger.

    Die Wende bei Waffenhammer die aus der Karte ersichtlich ist existiert so nicht. So wie es aussieht seit Jahren nicht mehr. Man muss vor Waffenhammer bereits rechts abbiegen. Ist auch beschildert und auf der Karte als "Strichelweg" erkennbar. Es lohnt sich aber den Abstecher zur Brücke nach Waffenhammer zu machen.

    Die Info mit dem Parkplatz bei der Waldschänke ist leider einfach falsch und hat uns viel Zeit gekostet. Die Parkplätze bei der Waldschänke sind privat, kostenlos parken kann man aber 160m weiter hinten in der Schlucht bei der nächsten Weggabelung. Wussten wir leider nicht und wurden von der sehr "hilfreichen" Wirtin über einen Kilometer zurückgeschickt zum Ende der Teerstraße - vielen Dank auch, ich habe mich mit einer entsprechenden Google-Bewertung revanchiert. Trotzdem nette Wanderung.

    Sehr schöne Tour, auch bei schlechtem Wetter, feste Schuhe vorausgesetzt. Wir kehrten in der Kleinrehmühle ein. Die Bortzeit dort kann ich uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
