The municipality of Bischofsgrün, located in the Fichtelgebirge in the district of Bayreuth, has a special tradition. Every year since 1985, volunteers have built a snowman several meters high in the village market square at the beginning of February. It starts on February 17th this year so that it will be ready in time for the February 20th Snowman Festival.
