    Hiking

    Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was three times in the Fichtelgebirge, twice in Bad Alexandersbad. On his first trip in 1785, he stayed in Wunsiedel, visited what was then the "Sichersreuther Sauerbrunnen" and made a long hike to the Fichtelgebirge to the Ochsenkopf. At the age of 71 he returned to the Fichtelgebirge, where he lodged in the "Alten Schloss" in Alexandersbad on April 25, 1820, visited the Luisenburg and then explained the weathering of the granite scientifically. A statement that is still valid today.

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