    Tips

    September 9, 2021

    Johann Wolfgang von Goethe visited this place in 1785 while hiking in the Fichtel Mountains and made a drawing of the rock. In 1986 the striking rock was rediscovered and named after Goethe. You should definitely make the small detour, about 100m from the summit ascent, rock formation worth seeing and great views. kurier.de/inhalt.er-entdeckte-den-goethefelsen.b2e54cb6-ea5c-4be8-a8a3-d824812aa8e5.html

        The Goethefelsen is one of my favorite highlights on the Ochsenkopf and its adjoining trail is always a pleasure. In order to be able to enjoy it, however, one must have well-developed mountain biking skills, otherwise one could injure oneself.
