As part of the Franconian Lake District, Wonsees in the Kulmbach district offers a picturesque landscape of forests and waters. The small town is known for its idyllic location on the lake of the same name, which invites you to swim and go boating.

Most relevant to tourism are the numerous sights in Wonsees. Particularly impressive is Wonsees Castle, which is now used as a hotel and impresses with its baroque style. The Protestant church of St. Georg is also worth a visit: it is considered one of the oldest buildings in the district.

Cultural highlights can be found in the form of concerts or theatre performances at Rabenstein Castle or Banz Monastery - both located only a few kilometres away from Wonsees.

If you want to experience something culinary, you should definitely try the regional Franconian wine as well as typical dishes such as bratwurst with sauerkraut.

Outdoor activities can be pursued depending on the season: In summer, the lake beckons for a round of swimming or stand-up paddling, while in winter you can go skiing on the surrounding slopes if the weather is right. Hiking and cycling trails lead through the beautiful nature around Wonsees.

Even when the weather is bad, there are a few options in Wonsees: The Aqua-Splash leisure pool provides variety for splashing and sliding, while the museum education centre offers an interesting alternative for those interested in culture.

The most beautiful time in Wonsees is certainly in spring, when nature awakens and everything is green and in bloom. But autumn with its colourful leaves also has a special charm.

Wonsees in the Kulmbach district is definitely worth a trip - everyone will find something to their taste here!

    Hübsche Runde, schöne Landschaft zu Beginn, im Mittelteil etwas eintöniger. Auf jeden Fall zum Abschluss den Felsengarten besichtigen!

    Schöne, ruhige Tour, abseits von jeglichem Verkehr. Jederzeit auch gut mit einem Trekkingbike machbar. Wir sind in Heubsch eingestiegen, haben die erste Pause am Magnus-Turm, die zweite in Schederndorf und die letzte auf dem Görauer Anger gemacht. Ideal, weil man dann mit "vollem Bauch" nur noch ein paar Kilometer runterrollen muss.

    Sehr schöne Tour, gestartet sind wir in Krögelstein, parken kann man gut mitten im Dorf, direkt vorm "Alten Fritz" (Felsformation), den Wanderparkplatz haben wir nicht gefunden. Die Tour nach GPS ist etwas ungenau, man findet sich aber trotzdem gut zurecht, der Fränk. Gebirgsweg ist gut ausgeschildert. Unbedingt in Sansperail den Abstecher in den Felsengarten machen.

    Eigentlich eine sehr schöne Tour. Bin diesae gefahren und diese gefällt mir sehr gut. Was ich nicht verstehe, warum einige gut ausgeschilderte Radwege (Beispiel Leinleitertal oder Aufsesstal nicht genutzt werden, sondern Bernhard hier auf der Straße fährt. Gerade im Aufsesstal, wo sehr viele Motorradfahrer unterwegs sind, ist dies ärgerlich

    Die Tour ist sehr abwechslungsreich und als kleine Vorbereitung für meinen Alpencross ein gutes Training.... Ich muss mich aber auch meinen Vorredner anschliessen, das Sück im Wiesenttal unbedingt dem Fluss (Markierung) folgen.... ich bin leider an dieser Stelle dem Track gefolgt und habe mir so einige Dornen eingefangen. :-)))
