Kamm-Weg OS 16

Passing the church, we leave the village and soon join the hiking trail coming from the sports field and follow it until we reach the watershed trail at the edge of the forest after the houses of the hamlet of Buckel. In the forest, we hike along the slope of the Hohberg (708 m) in the "Auf dem Kamm" forest area until the forest opens up and provides a view of the hamlet of Hohberg and also some of the village of Hohenberg. Now it's just a stone's throw to Dreschersreuth.

The village was named after the builder of the first house in the small settlement in 1806, Johann Drescher. Until 1853, however, it was (according to Otto Knopf) the "Katz", which goes back to the remains of old defenses (ditches and ramparts) discovered in the nearby woods.

At the road, we turn left and continue along the road for about 500m until we turn right onto a forest path at Einzeln. We walk downhill through the meadows, almost always along the edge of the forest,

We turn left briefly on the road, then turn right and walk downhill through the meadows with a beautiful view of the Fichtelgebirge mountains, almost always along the edge of the forest, briefly through the forest, and come to a beautiful meadow path, later a field path, which we follow through beautiful meadows past two field barns to Ahornis with the Gustav-Adolf church built in 1932 and the Prinzregenten-Ulme natural monument to the north-east of the village pond.

We follow the road to Maxreuth for around 700 m before turning left onto a dirt track and following it past two properties in the scattered settlement of Maxreuth to the last house. We immediately turn off the road into the beautiful valley of the Enziusbach stream, which we soon cross to the right towards the forest. The stream, still called "Ensmannsbach" in 1898, comes from the headwaters of the Brücklasteich pond near Dreschersreuth. Its upper reaches and the "Niedermoor Ahornismühle" are a nature reserve.

On a field path, we come to a single (horse stud) and follow the same path steadily uphill to the heights with a beautiful view of Helmbrechts and the surrounding countryside. It won't be long before we reach our starting point again on the Maxreuther Weg.
