Tips from the Community
The windmills / The Windmühlanger: In 1848, in this region (near Hof/Fichtelgebirge), an attempt was made to build a Dutch windmill (gallery mill), atypical for the area, to compensate for the recurring water shortage of watermills in summer and winter. However, the project was not destined for success: after economic problems, the mill burned down, was rebuilt in a modernized way, again did not function as desired, and was finally dismantled.

Der Syllhof: This is a historical field name and former farm in the Sechsämterland. Today, a so-called Flurnamenstein (a glacial erratic erected as a monument with an information board) commemorates the history of the lost or historical place.

Increasing bicycle and hiking traffic leads to more frequent running over of protected wild animals (especially adders and fire salamanders). Built railway embankments (e.g. Brücken- und Sechsämter-Radweg) offer ideal sunny structures as habitats and sunbathing spots for adders. Cyclists usually approach too quickly for the shy animals to escape or be noticed in time.

Simply stop a bit slower and ride mindfully. With a bit of luck, you might actually see adders...

It's always worth taking a photo or two at the stone bridge in Lorenzreuth; the village shop offers coffee, cake, and sometimes a daily special with other drinks!
