Route Details: To Giechburg: 7.1 km, 292 meters of elevation gain; approx. 3 hours of walking time. Return: 2.4 km, 22 meters of elevation gain; approx. 65 minutes of walking time. This time, the route is more challenging. We start with a steady climb of a total of 160 meters. After that, it gets easier until the final ascent to Giechburg, which is 70 meters. The return is easy and mostly downhill. Lunch: Giechburg Restaurant, Tel: 09542-424 (Giechburg 1, 96110 Scheßlitz) Pünzendorf and Giechburg are districts of the town of Scheßlitz. Directions from Bayreuth (Example—approx. 50 minutes / 60 km. Navigation: Pünzendorf, Scheßlitz): Take the A9 Autobahn towards Berlin, then exit onto the A70 Autobahn towards Bamberg. Take exit No.18 Scheßlitz and drive through Scheßlitz in the direction of Bamberg. After leaving Scheßlitz, turn left towards Litzendorf (our navigation system was silent but still displayed the correct route on the map). In Köttensdorf, continue straight to Peulendorf. Drive through Peulendorf and proceed to Pünzendorf. Park at the village exit. Things to keep in mind: Make sure you're heading to the correct Pünzendorf: Pünzendorf (Scheßlitz). The Scheßlitz Autobahn exit is under construction, and there may be a detour. The main road in Scheßlitz may also still be a construction site, so be sure to follow the detour signs and do not rely solely on your navigation system. "Google Maps" has shown a route via unpaved roads. Although this route does lead to Pünzendorf, it is quite adventurous. If necessary, disable the "Unpaved Roads" option in your navigation system. | |
