Why venture to far-flung corners of the world when Ochsenkopf
in the Fichtelgebirge (Fichtel Mountains) has so
much to offer.

With locations like Bischofsgrün, Fichtelberg, Mehlmeisel and
Warmensteinach, fun can be had within easy reach! Whether
you are a mountain bike fan or simply wish to chillax - the
region boasts a fantastic and unrivalled open-air sports and
leisure complex.
Hikers can linger at unique spots and take in the breathtaking
views down into the valley. Certified hiking paths such
as the Fränkischer Gebirgsweg [Franconian Mountain Path] or
interesting themed paths such as the Jean-Paul Path take the
hiker to the most attractive spots in the region. The health resort
of Bischofsgrün is considered the hiking centre where the hiker
can draw on the experience of 17 certified hiking guides. The
Walderlebniszentrum [Forest Adventure Centre] in Mehlmeisel
is designed for discoverers and offers in enclosure zones a wildlife
park with lynx, red dear and wild boars as well as a discovery trail
linking with 11 stations.
Cyclists of all kinds can enjoy a top-notch cycling experience.
All routes have been designed so that both families with children
as well as practised mountain bikers won‘t be disappointed.
Hire, mount and off ... is the slogan with which guests to
the Ochsenkopf region are invited to hire an electrically powered
cycle.
And there‘s more: the fun factor in and around Ochsenkopf is
large! Feel the wind rush with a high-speed trip on the summer
toboggan run or in a Deval Kart. Anybody out for an adrenalin
kick won‘t be disappointed on the downhill freeride run, or why
not go on an exciting trip around the high rope course?
Would-be pirates can set out on a thrilling boat trip along the
mysterious granite cliffs on the idyllic Fichtel Lake. Bathing
fun at its best: in Bischofsgrün you can find one of the most
attractive heated outdoor pools in the Fichtelgebirge.
The first zipline park in Germany is just one more reason to
pay the region a visit! Accompanied by trained guides you can
enjoy the forest and unforgettable views in a completely new
way along the southern ski run near the chair lift. After the
mountain trip and following a brief instruction you are now
perfectly secured and ready to start your high speed mountain
descent using 15 steep rope sections - so-called ziplines. You
can catch your breath and gather your thoughts for the next
adrenalin rush at 20-metre high tree platforms. After whizzing
along more than two kilometres along ziplines your rip-roaring
journey ends at the valley station in Fleckl.

The four communities of Bischofsgrün, Fichtelberg, Mehlmeisel
and Warmensteinach snuggle like a chain around the second
highest mountain in the Fichtelgebirge. This is the location for

skies along prepared cross country ski trails or down into the
valley on snowboard or skis. There are ten kilometres of slopes,
80 kilometres of prepared cross-country ski trails, two toboggan
runs, a snowboard park, two lifts with twin seats and 10 T-bar
lifts as well as two large ski schools offering ski hire facilities.
Winter holidaymakers can choose from a large selection of
overnight options ranging from holiday flats or chalets to 4 star
hotels.

Family-friendly ski resort - ski instruction for infants
The ski resort boasts approximately ten kilometres of slopes and
is ideally suited for beginners and families alike. Nevertheless,
even experienced skiers will find ski excursions at the weekend
well worthwhile. The Klausenhang has an FIS slalom course. Two
lifts bring skiers to the top of the 1,024 metre high Ochsenkopf
in just nine minutes. The medium difficulty northern
descent is 2.3 kilometres long and the longest alpine descent in
Northern Bavaria. The easy Southern descent is 1.9 kilometres
long. Other slopes are equipped with ten T-bar lifts, and several
of them offer floodlit skiing until 10 p.m. Snow cannons ensure
the northern slope remains white until the end of March.
Sledding is possible on the southern side at the Bleaml Alm and
on the northern side at Lattalift.
The day ski pass for Ochsenkopf costs 20.50 euros for adults
(two euros reduction with health resort ticket), and for children
between six and 15 years of age 16,50 euros. Evening passes
for floodlit skiing with private operators cost around ten
euros for adults and between seven and nine euros for children.
Two famous ski schools

The Skischule Nordbayern [Northern Bavarian Ski School] is
based at the valley station on the northern slope. Around 140
ski instructors are on hand to teach the joy of skiing. For small
children there is the „Nubi Club“. The „increasing ski length“
method is employed - starting with 65 centimetre long skis.
On the southern side the Hottenroth Ski School offers for
young skiers especially, and those still keen to learn, skiing fun
with „Juhuu“ the elk. Several ski hire stations stock the latest
equipment for skiers of every experience level.
