Hey, I'm trying to learn a little bit more about recursion but somehow I can't solve the knight's tour and I'm hoping someone can point out my logic error.

public class main {
static int fsize = 5;
static int board[][] = new int[fsize][fsize];
static int[] sprung_x = {1,2,2,1,-1,-2,-2,-1};
static int[] sprung_y = {-2,-1,1,2,2,1,-1,-2};

static void SucheWeg(int schrittnummer, int x, int y) {
    board[x][y] = schrittnummer;

if( schrittnummer == ((fsize*fsize)-1)) {
    for(int i = 0; i<fsize; i++) {
        for(int c=0; c<fsize; c++) {
            System.out.printf("%3d", board[i][c]);
        }
        System.out.println("\n");
    }
} else {
    for(int i = 0; i<8; i++) {
        for(int c = 0; c<8; c++) {
            if( (x+sprung_x[i]) >= 0 && (x+sprung_x[i]) < fsize && (y+sprung_y[c]) >= 0 && (y+sprung_y[c]) < fsize ) {
                if(board[x+sprung_x[i]][y+sprung_y[c]] == -1) {
                    System.out.println("Move: "+schrittnummer + "\n");
                    SucheWeg(schrittnummer+1, (x+sprung_x[i]), (y+sprung_y[c]));
                }
            }
        }
    }
    board[x][y] = -1;   
}
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Begin: \n");
    for(int i = 0; i<fsize; i++) {
        for(int c = 0; c<fsize; c++) {
            board[i][c] = -1;
        }
    }

    SucheWeg(0, 0, 0);

    System.out.println("\nEnd");

}
}
