아주 멋진 곳

a very nice corner

the town of Elterlein. Beautifully decorated with fountains and flowers

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 longest climb on the Miriquidi Road – and I was climbing at night. There was hardly any traffic, absolute peace and quiet, and a view of the starry sky at the summit. An adventure that makes Klínovec even more unforgettable.

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.

A top-notch route. In summer, the sun beats down on the asphalt. But you'll be rewarded with a fantastic view at the top.

If you're doing the Stoneman, this is your first short detour to the Czech Republic. The EU makes it easy 🇪🇺🙂
