World's Largest Freestanding Candle Arch On December 15, 2012, the world's largest freestanding candle arch was inaugurated in Johanngeorgenstadt at the 20th Original Johanngeorgenstadt Candle Arch Festival. This giant is 25 meters wide and, including the candles, 14.5 meters high, and consists of 700 tons of reinforced concrete and 15 tons of stainless steel. The new attraction, as well as the giant pyramid, was donated by Johanngeorgenstadt entrepreneur Siegfried Ott. - Symbols in the candle arch: ° Wonder flower represents the legends of the Ore Mountains. ° Lacemaker represents one aspect of Ore Mountain folk art. ° Miners represent mining in Saxony. ° Upward-reaching flower signifies that folk art found fertile ground in the Ore Mountains. ° Crossed swords symbolize the Free State of Saxony. The horseshoe is a reminder that a mountain blacksmith invented the Schwibbogen (candle arch). The hammer and chisel are further symbols of mining. The light angel, woodcarver, and incense smoker represent the folk art of the Ore Mountains.

With every step, closer to the summit – the Fichtelberg climb on the Stoneman Miriquidi Road. From the intersection, it's not far anymore, and motivation gets a final boost.

The construction could have been avoided, as it wouldn't allow you to escape the traffic on the B101. Unfortunately, private/commercial use still takes precedence over bicycles, and so the opportunity to finally make Raschauer Weg accessible from all directions was missed.

The first weather observer on this summit was the innkeeper of the Fichtelberghaus. He recorded his weather observations from 1890 onwards, but from 1898 onwards only intermittently, and from 1910 onwards not at all. The head of the Royal Saxon State Meteorological Observatory, Paul Schreiber, suggested the construction of a permanent weather observatory. Temperature, wind speed, and precipitation amounts have been continuously recorded here since January 1, 1916. The strongest storm recorded here was on January 3, 1976, with a peak gust speed of 216 kilometers per hour. The coldest day on the summit was February 9, 1956, with minus 30.4 degrees Celsius; the warmest was July 27, 1983, with plus 30.8 degrees Celsius. The highest snow cover was measured in March 1944: 3.35 meters. The year 1951 was bad for Fichtelberg tourists: it held the record for foggy days with 315.

The station is located on the summit next to the Fichtelberghaus, but is not accessible.
