Tröstau: Culture, Cycling Routes and Golf
Accommodation in Tröstau
Tröstau is a state-recognized health resort in the Fichtelgebirge Nature Park. A range of different attractions are available to help you plan your trip: the listed Hammerschloss in Leupoldsdorf, a geological and historical nature trail, the Bavaria–Bohemia Bridge Cycling Route, golf and the forest swimming pool. This gives you a variety of ways to explore local history, trails and activities by the water during your stay. If you are looking for accommodation in Tröstau, these differences can help you plan around the activities that matter to you.
The Hammerschloss and the hammer mill owners in Leupoldsdorf
The Hammerschloss and its associated ponds are located in the district of Leupoldsdorf and are a listed site. The gatehouse houses a tourist information office and an exhibition about the Hammerschloss and the hammer mill owners. The water wheel is also part of the visitor experience: visitors can set it in motion by opening a small weir. The site, its ponds, the exhibition and the water wheel each offer a different way to explore the area’s history. If you are particularly interested in the Hammerschloss, you will find both an information office and a related exhibition in the gatehouse.
Geology and traces of past mining
The Leupoldsdorf–Vordorf geological and historical nature trail explains geological phenomena and traces of past mining along its 9-kilometre route. Its name reflects its two themes: the history of the Earth and traces of mining in the past. You can walk the trail in either direction, or visit individual stops. This gives you different ways to explore its subject matter: along the entire route or at selected stops. The route’s length and subject matter also give you a clear basis for including the trail in your plans for an outing.
Cycling the Bridge Cycling Route
The Bavaria–Bohemia Bridge Cycling Route passes via Silberhaus to the health resort of Tröstau. Between Tröstau and Selb, the route follows former railway lines without any major climbs and is family-friendly. Along the way, it crosses more than a dozen listed bridges. This cycling route is clearly distinct from the geological and historical nature trail: here, the former railway lines, the route between the towns and the bridges shape the ride, while the nature trail focuses on geological phenomena and traces of past mining. If you choose your outings by theme, you can consider these two options according to their respective focus.
Golf course and landscape in Fahrenbach
The 18-hole golf course in Tröstau has a playing length of 5,870 metres and a par of 71. Facilities include a practice green and a spacious driving range. The course programme caters to everyone from beginners to advanced golfers. These details describe different aspects of the facility: the playing length and par indicate the course specifications, while the practice areas and programme relate to training and different skill levels. The golf course in Tröstau’s Fahrenbach district lies at the foot of the 993-metre-high Kösseine. Different bodies of water alternate with cultural biotopes across the course, providing a refuge for plant and animal species that have become rare. This also makes the golf course worth exploring for its landscape and habitats.
Forest swimming pool and hiking information
The forest swimming pool on the western edge of Tröstau offers opportunities for swimming, sunbathing and playing. The Tröstau municipal tourist office provides hiking maps and other useful information for walks. Together with the nature trail, cycling route and golf facilities, this gives you a range of activities to consider when planning your stay.
