Hiking

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe visited the Fichtelgebirge three times, twice in Bad Alexandersbad. On his first trip in 1785, he stayed overnight in Wunsiedel, visited the then "Sichersreuther Sauerbrunnen" and went on a long hike through the Fichtelgebirge to the Ochsenkopf. As a 71-year-old, he came to the Fichtelgebirge again, where on April 25, 1820, he lodged in the "Alten Schloss" in Alexandersbad, visited the Luisenburg, and subsequently scientifically explained the granite weathering. A description that is still valid today.

Christian Friedrich Carl Alexander von Brandenburg-Ansbach (* 24 February 1736 in Ansbach; † 5 January 1806 in Benham Park near Speen in England) from the House of Hohenzollern was the last Margrave of the two Franconian Margraviates Brandenburg-Ansbach (since 1757) and Brandenburg-Bayreuth (since 1769). The Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, which he significantly promoted, is partly named after him.
