March 28, 2025,Wanderung Fürstenau - Traugotthöhe - Kohlhaukuppe

Beautiful sunshine, blue skies, mild temperatures and hardly any wind - a good condition to climb two peaks in the upper Eastern Ore Mountains that I have not been to before.

May 23, 2026,Traugotthöhe (8066 dm) 🏔️ und Kohlhaukuppe ab Fürstenau

As the third 8000er in the Ore Mountains, we had chosen the Traugotthöhe. Our hike started at the hiking parking lot in Fürstenau. From there, we went through the "Fürstenau and Fürstenauer Heide" nature reserve directly to the Traugotthöhe, where we got the 3rd stamp and took a break at the beautiful rest area.
Unfortunately, the origin of the name …

Once again hiking in really nice powder snow very close to the border from Fürstenau. You can really get your circulation going through the sometimes quite blown snow on the paths. The hut on the Kohlhaukuppe, which is open for outside consumption, is a nice, albeit cold, resting place. Magnificent view from the Traugotthöhe towards the mosquito tower.

Nice winter hike and even the sun 🌞 has shown itself quite often (like between snow and sleet showers 😉).
We drove to Fürstenau from the Hüttenteich car park (day ticket €3.00). After crossing it, we walked over the white field to the Traugotthöhe, where we secured a stamp again 😁. Then it went down into the valley and then …

Finally, the time has come for our last tour from the collection "14 eight-thousanders in the Ore Mountains" (komoot.com/de-de/collection/2569876/-14-achttausender-im-erzgebirge). The Arnapurna or the Ore Mountains equivalent, the Traugotthöhe, is still open.

We start in Geising at a cozy 5 °C. Luckily, we have a good climb to the Kohlhaukuppe straight away, so we quickly reach our operating temperature. After a …

Almost exactly four years ago, we trudged up to the Traugotthöhe in an icy storm. Today, it was just an intermediate destination.

We started from Fürstenau, where quite a few vehicles were already parked. The bushes and trees were enchanted by hoarfrost. Wonderful! Only the clouds were hanging very low again, so today we saw almost nothing but white.

The parking machine at the hiking parking lot accepts the EasyPark app, I paid €4.60 for 4 hours.
