View of Kulmbacher Land, Frankenwald, and Fichtelgebirge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Unfortunately, we couldn't enjoy the view during our visit in December because thick fog covered the landscape. However, it's definitely a good place to rest, and a sign indicates exactly where the view extends.

Schuhmann Brewery Rock Cellar (Felsenkeller), Kasendorf

In the 18th century, a stone vaulted cellar with cellars was built on the Kasendorf Turmberg hill. These cellars were intended to provide the brewed beer with the necessary temperature for fermentation and storage – especially during the summer months.

Perfect weather, only the wildflowers aren't quite ready to bloom everywhere yet. If you're planning to drive, please use the parking area just before the village entrance when coming from Krumme Fohre. The narrow paths through the deciduous forests are easy to walk on right now and offer frequent views of the valley. At kilometer 3.6, it's best to stay …

Oh, how beautiful autumn can be when the sun 🌞 has fought its way through the fog, then the deciduous forests🍂 shine in the most vibrant colors. You can enjoy this on the little walk around Kasendorf 😁

Well, that was a great afternoon walk around Kasendorf with its many highlights. The Fritz Hornschuh path, which we mostly followed, is really great. The best thing of the day was of course that the orientation using the weather map worked out perfectly and we saw the heavy showers pass by from the Magnus Tower 😃
