Immenreuth combines an accessible circular trail through the town with several hiking trails and distinctive landscapes. It also offers Christuskirche, with its freestanding bell tower, as well as destinations nearby. When planning your stay, it is worth considering the trail length, starting point and landscape: the routes offer different ways to explore the town and its surroundings.

Hiking trails with different profiles

The Entspannungs-Wanderweg of the Immenreuth dog training school is a 5.7-kilometre circular trail. It starts at the dog training ground, heads towards Ziegelhütte through the town centre and past the solar plant, then returns to the starting point. The trail is accessible and child-friendly, and is also suitable for pushchairs. Anyone looking for a circular trail with these features will find a specific option here in Immenreuth.

The Tannenberg Trail also starts at the Raiffeisen warehouse on Bahnhofstraße and loops back there. From the warehouse, it heads towards Plößberg and turns left at the Zweifelau town sign. At a wayside cross in Zweifelau, it turns left again, descends to the Flötzbach and crosses a narrow footbridge to the Immenreuth–Ahornberg municipal connecting road. This makes it possible to follow the route description by its distinctive landmarks.

On the north side of Tannenberg, the forest opens up. From there, views extend across the Schilmbach valley to Klausenberg and over to Flötzrangen. This landscape view adds a specific destination on Tannenberg to the route described.

The Gabellohe Trail also starts at the Raiffeisen warehouse and heads towards Plößberg. There are ponds along the railway line; the trail passes the holiday centre and campsite before reaching the Großer Hirschbergweiher. This gives you a choice of different routes: a loop through the town centre, the Tannenberg Trail with its Flötzbach section, and the Gabellohe Trail along the ponds.

For a longer hike, the Flötztal Trail is listed as an easy route covering 15.3 kilometres, taking 4 hours 50 minutes and gaining 370 metres in elevation. It starts at the hiking car park between Ahornberg and Hölzlmühle in Immenreuth. These details make it possible to compare its length and listed duration with those of the 5.7-kilometre circular trail.

Christuskirche and nearby destinations

Christuskirche in Immenreuth was built in 1966 and is distinguished by its freestanding bell tower. At present, outdoor family services are held there on Easter Monday and Christmas Eve. As the dates may change, it is advisable to check the current service times before visiting.

In the area around the destination, the land around Großer Hirschbergweiher and Haidweiher is a bird sanctuary. The Flötzbach is also home to Rotenfels, a rock pierced in an arch shape. Iron was mined beneath the rock in the Middle Ages. These destinations complement the hiking trails described above with nature conservation and a historical connection to the landscape.

Culture and regional specialities in Tirschenreuth

For additional cultural experiences, you can also explore Tirschenreuth separately. The MuseumsQuartier in Tirschenreuth combines the Upper Palatinate Fisheries Museum with six other specialist exhibitions in a former monastery. Visitors can explore almost 1,000 years of fishing and fish farming history there and see native fish in four large aquariums. Special exhibitions, talks, readings and concerts are also held regularly; individual dates may change, so it is advisable to check the current programme.

At the centre of Fischhofpark in Tirschenreuth are the historic Fischhofbrücke and the Fischhof, which houses the district court. The Tirschenreuth district also has its own regional culinary specialities: it is best known for Zoigl, the cult beer of the Upper Palatinate Forest, and carp from the pond landscapes of the “Land of 1,000 Ponds.” MuseumsQuartier and Fischhofpark are in Tirschenreuth; the Zoigl and carp references apply to the district.
