My favorite hike

By Birgit and Dieter Döbl

We live at the foot of the legendary Königsheide. We are active hikers, and occasionally go out on our bikes. Four years ago, we joined the Fichtelgebirgsverein, Bischofsgrün local chapter. We particularly enjoy the guided hikes and also the excellently organized hiking weeks.
