FichtelRad – visionary founder
Freedom to get out and realize your own dreams, and the region is predestined for this.
Frank Süß // founder FichtelRad
From sales representative to owner of his own company on two wheels.
Frank Süß is the founder of FichtelRad. In Ruppertsgrün, near Weißenstadt, he rents out bikes, offers bike tours and invites you to enjoy delicious homemade cakes and first-class cappuccino in his cozy café.
The sports enthusiast wants to make the Fichtelgebirge more attractive and expand the range of leisure activities on offer, as he believes that the region’s unspoiled nature and tranquillity are totally underestimated.
The ambitious entrepreneur grew up in the Fichtelgebirge and has spent the last 10 years working in the field for a bicycle manufacturer.
This meant he was often on the road and saw a lot of Germany, but he was always drawn back home.
So it’s hardly surprising that one of his favorite places is here in the Fichtelgebirge: the Waldstein. Cycling there in 10 minutes, he can enjoy the breathtaking view and overlook the entire Fichtelgebirge.
