    Tips

    December 1, 2016

    Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was known to be a diligent hiker. He is said to have visited on July 1, 1785 in his great Fichtelgebirgswanderung this place. Reason enough to miss the name of the viewing platform Goethefelsen. He was right. The hiking diversity here at Ochsenkopf is unique and just waiting to be explored.

      Gothe was really everywhere, even the granite rocks couldn't stop him. No wonder with these dreamy views

        From the Goethefelsen you can take beautiful photos of the Ochsenkopf transmission tower.
