The old Maintalstraße ran here, and this section was the Silberhausstraße. The road, built in the 19th century, is lined with slow-growing sycamore maples. The lower part was asphalted for the quarry. In 1936, the Ostmarkstraße was built, the course of which forms today's B303 and has largely replaced the Maintalstraße with a new route.

Bischofsgrün is, so to speak, the "heart" of the Fichtel Mountains – a state-recognized health resort nestled in the valley between the two highest peaks in Northern Bavaria, the Ochsenkopf (1024 m) and the Schneeberg (1051 m). Bischofsgrün is the ideal starting point for almost any outdoor activity: The modern Ochsenkopf North Cable Car takes you to the summit year-round. In summer, the Alpine Coaster (a year-round toboggan run), the climbing park, and downhill trails beckon. In winter, the town is a hotspot for downhill and cross-country skiing. The region boasts a vast network of hiking trails, including the famous Franconian Mountain Trail.
