A short but nice climb

Unfortunately very overgrown. The ascent involves some scrambling, but it is still a very nice place.

Once upon a time – until the 1990s – the Ochsenkopf, now unfortunately almost overgrown, served as Rittersgrün's local mountain, offering good views of the surrounding area. This role has since been taken over by what the locals call the "Taubenfels," not far from the border on the Bohemian side. A wonderful view of most of our beautiful town, including a good view of the distance, is the reward for a strenuous climb. An almost 100-year-old advertising brochure from the Erzgebirge branch association of Rittersgrün advertises a hike to the Taubenfels as a possibility for "short walks in the local area."
