The tour is aimed at adults, families, as well as guests and tourists and covers approximately 10 kilometers through a landscape that is perfectly suited for active excursions and culturally shaped natural moments.
Hiking between Landscape, Legend, and Cave Magic
The Dragon Path opens the view to a region where hiking and stories are closely intertwined. The path leads to an environment that scores with view, rhythm, and a clear destination: the Dragon Cave Syrau. There awaits one of the most famous cave attractions in the area with its underground charm and the special experience of a guided tour.
A Day Trip with a Clear Structure
The route covers about 10 kilometers. The meeting point is at Bayreuth station, track 1, at 8:15 AM; the return is scheduled for around 7:00 PM. For the journey, the Deutschlandticket or the EgronetTicket is recommended. Pre-registration is required and must be done with the hiking guide Beate Landgraf by August 13, 2026.
Dragon Cave Syrau as the Highlight of the Route
The Dragon Cave adds an atmospheric cultural and natural moment to the hike. According to the official price information, the entrance fee from 2026 is regularly 10.00 euros in the off-season and 11.00 euros in the peak season; however, the cave visit is designated as optional for this event. Those who book the trip will experience a combination of movement on the surface and mysterious depth underground.
Practically Prepared on the Go
The tour is suitable for hiking enthusiasts looking for a well-organized day trip with clear arrival and fixed structure. Weatherproof clothing, appropriate hiking shoes, and a small supply ensure a relaxed walking experience.
