Fichtelgebirge, Bavaria

 

The cozy Fichtel Hills lie quietly and contemplative in northeast Bavaria. The Fichtel Hills are a fabulous landscape with the legendary Ochesnkopf (ox head), a majestic mountain. Heidi romanticism and chairlifts remind one of childhood joys on a mountain pasture.

The alpine slide on the northern slope of the Ochsenkopf is also a lot of fun for adults and children. The obvious landmark of the mountain is the 177 meter high radio tower of the Bavarian Broadcasting Service. You can marvel at the Zuckerhut (Sugar Hill) at the end of the Fichtel Hills.

Originally a coal mountain, its name was distinguished by the smuggling of sugar over the border close by. At Pentecost you can join the festivities at the Zuckerhutfest! Further highlights are the stone labyrinth in Wunsiedel and the natural moor spa in Fleckl.

If you are looking for hearty hospitality, you should try Warmensteinach as your vacation destination. Serviced cottages offer hungry wanderers a solid snack and culinary treats.  You have the possibility of manifold excursions to the likes of Bamberg or to the fresh air oasis Marienbad and the Kaiser Forest.

For adventurers, vacationers and conference guests the Fichtelwichtel hotels are recommended accommodations. These friendly hotels offer accommodations and good service at an attractive price.
