Hof: Flughafen - Plauen, Blick Richtung Westen/ Anflug Piste 08
Hof has served as a market town in Upper Franconia since the Middle Ages. The city stands on the Saale in northeastern Bavaria, near the borders with Saxony and the Czech Republic, while Hof-Plauen Airport occupies open farmland southwest of its centre. Its runway and adjacent grassland sit among low, wooded ridges typical of the Franconian uplands. Hof’s cultural calendar is led by the Hof International Film Festival, founded in 1967 and associated with director Heinz Badewitz for decades. The city is also known for Hofer Wärschtlamo, a local tradition of selling hot Franconian sausages from portable brass kettles. The airfield gives the wider Hof area a distinctly open, rural edge beyond the built-up city.

Hof lies along the Saale, in the rolling Upper Franconian uplands near the Franconian Forest and the Fichtel Mountains. The city stands close to the borders with Saxony and the Czech Republic, giving it a distinctly northeastern Bavarian setting. Its best-known cultural fixture is the Hof International Film Festival, founded in 1967 and long regarded as a place for discovering new voices in German cinema. Local food culture is equally recognisable: Hofer Wärscht, small sausages traditionally sold from mobile stands, remain a familiar regional specialty.

Built around the early medieval Duchy of Bavaria, Bavaria grew into Germany’s largest federal state. The Danube crosses its broad centre, while the Bavarian Alps form its southern edge and include the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Munich is the state capital and the home of Oktoberfest, a festival rooted in an 1810 royal wedding. Beyond the metropolis, Franconia’s vineyards, Swabian towns and Alpine resorts reveal how varied this part of Germany can be.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
