Tirschenreuth is a special area in the northeastern part of Bavaria, Germany. It's called a Landkreis, which means a district or a county. Think of it like a region that has many smaller towns and villages working together.
This district is located among the lovely hills of the Fichtel Mountains. Two important rivers flow through the area: the Waldnaab and the Fichtelnaab. These rivers help shape the landscape and provide water for the region.
