Bischofsgrün is, so to speak, the "heart" of the Fichtel Mountains – a state-recognized health resort nestled in the valley between the two highest peaks in Northern Bavaria, the Ochsenkopf (1024 m) and the Schneeberg (1051 m). Bischofsgrün is the ideal starting point for almost any outdoor activity: The modern Ochsenkopf North Cable Car takes you to the summit year-round. In summer, the Alpine Coaster (a year-round toboggan run), the climbing park, and downhill trails beckon. In winter, the town is a hotspot for downhill and cross-country skiing. The region boasts a vast network of hiking trails, including the famous Franconian Mountain Trail.
