The Ochsenkopf landmark can be found here. In order to naturalize the name "Ochsenkopf", this landmark was attached to the summit north-west of the Asenturm. The landmark is first mentioned in a mine record in 1495.From here you also have a wonderful view towards Bischofsgrün, the Schneeberg and the surrounding mountains.Out of consideration for hikers, the bike should be left a little further down.
