The Erlebnisregion Ochsenkoof is also called Franconia’s “roof” with  enchanting landscapes and peaks such as the Ochsenkopf or the Schneeberg mountains. The Fichtelgebirge has been famous as a center for gold, silver, and copper mining. The area around the Ochsenkopf (1024 meters) offers exceptional holiday in the north of bavaria. Four communities are offering holidays: Fichtelberg, Warmensteinach, Mehlmeisel and Bischofsgrün as a climatic health resort. 

What is there to do? Vacation enjoyment for young and old in winter- and summertime. Bicycling on good bicycle paths. Hiking around the lakes and through the forests. Skiing and snowboarding in the wintertime. Adventure in the first Zipline Park in Germany.
