Fichtelberg

Fichtelberg straddles the upper Fichtelnaab in Bavaria’s Fichtel Mountains, where forest and iron ore once made mining and ironworking central to local life. The municipality sits below Ochsenkopf, one of the range’s best-known summits, in an upland region marked by dense woods, winter sports and long-distance trails. Its Gleißinger Fels visitor mine preserves part of this industrial past: iron ore was extracted here for centuries, and the site introduces the techniques and working conditions behind the trade. Traditional glassmaking and granite working also belong to the wider Fichtelgebirge heritage.
