Fichtelgebirge: snowshoe hike

Fichtelgebirge: snowshoe hike

With snowshoes it goes through the snowy Fichtelgebirge. Experience the styles and beauty of nature off the trail. Anyone who has experienced the magic of a snowy winter landscape in Bischofsgrün away from the trampled paths knows that snowshoeing is far more than trudging through cold white: the thoughts of everyday life become quiet and soft feelings of security. Nature and weather remind you to humility and awe, which costs the body strength, but the richer but gives the mind. Senses earlier days awakening and moving a barely definable attitude to life in vibration that you no longer want to miss afterwards. And then the return: drunk a cup of tea or hot chocolate, and every fiber of the body is recorded by deep heat. A strange type of fatigue captures the body, which reconciles you in an indescribable way. Come to a special adventure at dusk with the snowshoe hiker Klaus Hübsch to Bischofsgrün. The tour has a length of approx. 5 km and is suitable for beginners. The starting point is bishop's green or foot of the Ochsenkopf. The meeting point is in Bayreuth or directly in the Fichtelbreige. On the way there is a short break with meals.

There are many interesting sights in the city. On this tour you will see some of the most important buildings and the expert guide will explain their history! To explore further you will need time and leisure. It is best to spend several days in Bayreuth. It is worth it!!!

Very interesting, despite it was only in German (that I don’t understand ) the guide try to translate in English briefly the most important things. There was also people in the group who help me to understand

The tour guide was excellent. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of Bayreuth and took pleasure in enlightening us. I really had to concentrate. It was a lot to digest but I learned a lot. Highly recommended.

There were two of us with the scout. We therefore had plenty of opportunities to ask questions, which the guide always answered competently. We would be happy to do it again anytime!

I really enjoyed the tour and would happily recommend it. The tour guide Brigitte G. knew a lot and explained everything very well. I really liked that. Keep it up.
