Hiking

The Fichtelseemoor is an important raised bog. In this relic of the last ice age, which is between 8,000 and 10,000 years old, a unique flora and fauna typical of raised bogs has developed under the barren conditions.

Hiking

The Fichtelseemoor (actually Torf- und Seelohe) in the Fichtel Mountains north of Lake Fichtel is one of the very few rain-fed raised bogs in northern Bavaria. It lies in a depression between the Ochsenkopf and Platte mountains at 752 meters above sea level. A special feature here is the bog spircus forest (extremely rare in northern Bavaria) adjacent to the raised bog vegetation. The eleven-hectare Fichtelsee was dammed starting in 1650 to provide additional hydropower for driving the hammers (mining in the Fichtel Mountains).
