Discover Höchstädt in the Fichtelgebirge

Those choosing Höchstädt in the Fichtelgebirge as a holiday destination will find a landscape rich in forests, designated circular hiking trails and historical sites worth seeing. A natural monument, chapel, church and former manor house provide distinctive points of interest. This allows you to tailor your stay according to whether you prefer longer hikes, a cycling tour with cultural stops or peaceful discoveries.

Hiking between forests and viewpoints

The Fichtelgebirgsverein has designated three circular hiking trails around Höchstädt. These trails can be combined into hikes of approximately 12 to 18 km. The approximate distances help you plan your days according to the desired amount of hiking without having to commit to a single tour. Those wishing to accommodate different interests within their travel group can alternate shorter and longer hiking days.

The forest-rich, unspoilt landscape invites you to go hiking. After a tour, Höchstädt’s inns provide opportunities to stop for refreshments and are known for their good hospitality. This combines exercise in nature with a regional break, without requiring every travel plan to focus exclusively on sporting activities.

Natural monuments and special viewpoints

A distinctive site on Höchstädt’s castle hill is the Stoakirch'n, as it is known locally. It is a natural monument and gives the castle hill its own character. Its name and location make it an interesting destination for anyone who would also like to discover unusual natural and local details along their routes.

From the Konrad Chapel, the view extends into Bohemia; in good visibility, Maria Culm near Eger can be seen. This viewpoint complements the hiking experience with a broad view across the landscape. If you enjoy combining specific destinations with a special outlook, the chapel is one of the places you can include in your plans.

Church, cycle route and manor house

The Church of St Peter and St Paul in Höchstädt in the Fichtelgebirge is officially designated as a cycling church. Its designation is associated with the Bavaria–Bohemia Bridge Cycle Path. The church also has its own prayer corner and a book of intercessions for travellers. This makes it particularly appealing to visitors who wish to combine a cycling tour or a stay with a quiet religious moment.

The castle of the Rohrer von Höchstädt family is located in the upper village. The castle is a restored former manor house. The building and castle courtyard are increasingly being used for public events. Those interested in historical sites and cultural impressions can include this area in their travel plans alongside the natural attractions.
