For bikers, mountain bikers & cyclists
User Rating: 5 / 5
Cyclists and mountain bikers will find cycle tours of all levels of difficulty through forests and meadows or attractive mountain routes in the Fichtelgebirge and in the direction of the Frankenwald. Our hotel is located about 200 m from the Main-, Fichtelgebirgs-, Burgenstraßenradweg as well as Euregio Egrensis, with connections to the Saale-, Siebenstern- and Frankenwald-Bicycle Trail, just to name a few.
On a leisurely introductory tour, cyclists can quench their thirst on a leisurely cycle tour to the beer city of Kulmbach with a stopover in the Kommunbräu and the enjoyment of a tasty amber beer.
The visitor will find a traditional beer garden directly at the foot of the Plassenburg (travel time approx. 70 minutes). The cycle path leads past the Baille-Maille-Lindenallee in the Upper Franconian community of Himmelkron to the "Hochzeitsdorf" Wirsberg and finally via Ludwigschorgast to Kulmbach. The cyclist can extend the route if he cycles along the Weißen Main for approx. 8 km, passing the recreational area Mainaue Badesee, to the confluence of the Red Main and the White Main. It is located west of Kulmbach, between Melkendorf and Mainleus. The journey home will take a little more time after enjoying the dark bock beer, but a good traffic connection with the German Federal Railway to Neuenmarkt / Wirsberg or to Marktschorgast would also be available.
Mountain bikers will also get their money's worth in the Fichtelgebirge. He finds routes of varying degrees of difficulty, partly on gravel roads, partly on forest terrain, such as very demanding trails from the Ochsenkopf in Bischofsgrün to the Seehaus or to the Kösseine. There is a lot of concentration during downhill, but after a strenuous tour one or the other lake (e. g. Fichtelsee or Nageler See) invites you to a refreshment in the summer months.
Our hotel is the ideal starting point to beautiful day destinations for motorcycle tours to the Czech Republic, the Fichtelgebirge, the Frankenwald or Franconian Switzerland. This is one of the most attractive and interesting areas for motorcyclists, especially because of the narrow, winding and biker-friendly routes; swimming lakes and interesting excursion possibilities invite you to stops.
