Active or Relaxed: Descent to the Fichtelsee and Lake Moments

For those seeking movement, the approximately 90-minute descent to the Fichtelsee is available. In the afternoon, the group meets at the valley station and visits the idyllic lake together – an opportunity for walking, breathing deeply, and enjoying the shore. Alternatively, the cozy lakeside restaurant with terrace beckons.
