The first pleasant place to stop is the spa town of Bad Weißenstadt with its popular Weißenstädter See lake. Here you can enjoy a moment of relaxation by the water, grab a bite to eat at one of the local cafés or restaurants, or take a short stroll through the historic center.

The bike path then leads you through Franconian countryside into the valley and on to Röslau. Here, the newly renovated park in Egerauen invites you to stop. Just a short distance north of the village, the Zwölfgipfelblick viewpoint opens up. It will reward you with impressive views of the Fichtelgebirge Mountains and the surrounding plateaus, reminding you of the diverse landscape you are currently cycling through.

From Röslau, the bike path continues to Marktleuthen and on past former hammer mills through the picturesque Wellerthal valley to Hohenberg an der Eger. Even from a distance, you’ll be greeted by a massive castle that has towered over the landscape since 1222. At the Carolinenquelle spring, you can recharge your energy with healing water before the final stretch, which will take you through Fischern all the way to Cheb.

In Cheb, you will have completed the first 60 kilometers of the Eger Cycle Route. Ahead of you lies one of the most beautiful historic towns in western Bohemia, with a unique atmosphere and history that you can feel at every step. After a full day of cycling, you can treat yourself to a well-deserved rest here, sit in the square, stroll through the picturesque streets of the old town, and soak up the magic of a place where paths, people, and cultures have converged for centuries.
