Fichtelberg Peace Bell

Highlight • Monument

The peace bell was built as a monument to the unity of Germany and rings for peace, unity, justice and love. Its peal can be heard as far as the neighboring Czech Republic and thus also sounds for a united Europe. The bells ring every Sunday at 4 p.m.

Fichtelberghaus Restaurant & Hotel

Highlight • Restaurant

The Fichtelberg is the highest mountain in Saxony. At 1,214 meters, it is also one of the highest German low mountain ranges. There are all sorts of activities for you up here. After the strenuous ascent you can relax in the Fichtelberghaus. There was already a restaurant up here in 1888. A fire destroyed the original building. A new building was constructed in the 1960s and remodeled in 1999. From the 30 meter high tower you have a great view of the entire Ore Mountains. By the way, you can also stay overnight here. hotel-fichtelberghaus.de

Fichtelberg in the Erzgebirge/Vogtland Nature Park

Highlight • Summit

The Fichtelberg in the Ore Mountains, at 1,215 meters, is Saxony's highest mountain and a true highlight for nature and sports enthusiasts.

From Oberwiesenthal – Germany's highest town – you can reach the summit via numerous hiking trails, or comfortably by the historic cable car or by car. At the top, an impressive panorama awaits you, stretching across the Ore Mountains and far into the Czech Republic.

In summer, the Fichtelberg is an ideal starting point for hikes, mountain bike tours, and excursions into the adjacent nature park. In winter, it transforms into Saxony's largest ski resort with slopes, cross-country trails, and snowboard runs. A visit to the mountain restaurant with its panoramic terrace perfectly rounds off the trip.

Rest area at the summit of Kleiner Fichtelberg

Highlight • Rest Area

The 1,206-meter-high summit of the Kleiner Fichtelberg is the intersection point of several hiking trails. Benches have been set up next to the signposts for resting. Those who have made it this far now have another 750 meters to go to the main summit.

Today, we only walked a short distance up to Fichtelberg, where we had potato soup and then listened to the peace bell on Fichtelberg.
The peace bell rings every Sunday and public holiday at 4 p.m., as well as on traditional holidays like Christmas, etc.
