      The North cable car in Bischofsgrün has a total length of 2,178 meters with a height difference of 359 meters. The cable car is a detachable gondola lift and was only newly built in 2023. Construction work on the new South cable car is going according to plan. It should also be finished in December 2024.

        The Ochsenkopf-Süd cable car is a domed double chair lift with a weather protection cover that goes from Warmsteinach in the Fichtelgebirge to the Ochsenkopf.

              Whether up or down with the cable car. The Ochsenkopf is always a wonderful destination.

                The easy way to get to the top

                  The Ochsenkopf-Süd chairlift is the comfortable way to reach the summit of the Ochsenkopf at reasonable prices. The lift was rebuilt in 1997 and overcomes a height difference of 249 meters over a length of almost 1830m. In winter, mostly skiers are brought up the mountain, in summer it's mountain bikers and hikers.

                        The northern runway will be renovated this year (2023). The southern runway will be renovated in 2024.

                            The cable cars on the north and south sides of the Ochsenkopf not only make the climb easier - the cable cars make the climb to the Ochsenkopf an experience. Just float up the mountain!

                              It doesn't get much higher in Franconia: at 1024m, the Ochsenkopf is the second highest peak in the Fichtelgebirge. Here you will find the highest tourist area in northern Bavaria, full of attractions and experiences. A mecca for hikers, mountain bikers, summer tobogganists and climbers in summer, a paradise for downhill and cross-country skiing in winter, the Ochsenkopf is a worthwhile excursion destination all year round for families and athletes, for locals and tourists alike.
