Waldershof

Few towns in Bavaria have a history as closely tied to the Stiftland, the former territory of Waldsassen Abbey, as Waldershof. The town lies in the Wondreb valley on the eastern side of the Fichtel Mountains, where wooded uplands meet the gentler terrain of the Upper Palatinate. Its location near the Czech border gives the area a distinctly northeastern Bavarian identity, far from the state’s Alpine south. Waldershof belongs to the Tirschenreuth district, a region of ponds, forests and small market towns influenced for centuries by the Cistercian monastery at Waldsassen. The nearby Kösseine massif is among the defining highland landmarks of the Fichtelgebirge. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across the Stiftland and the Fichtel Mountains.
