Trekking places

Spend the night in nature

A highlight of the region

Trekking sites are becoming increasingly popular in Germany, as they allow overnight stays in nature within a limited area. This unique, legal nature experience helps bridge the gap in accommodation options and reduces wild camping.

The trekking site season begins on April 1 and ends on October 31. The exception to this is the Aartal trekking site, which closes annually on August 31.08.

Our ten trekking sites are situated in natural settings along the Kellerwaldsteig and Lichtenfels Panorama Trails. Three sites are located near Lichtenfels, four on the northern loop of the Kellerwaldsteig, and from 2026 onwards, three more sites will be available in the southern section. They offer the ideal opportunity to combine your hiking stages with an overnight stay surrounded by nature.

Spend a night at our trekking sites – surrounded by nature, far from the hustle and bustle. Listen to the sounds of the forest, gaze at the sky through the treetops, and perhaps even spot some wildlife…
