This column testifies that the Fichtelberg was one of 158 stations of the "Central European Triangulation" in 1864. During the Royal Saxon Triangulation, the land in Saxony was surveyed between 1862 and 1890, and a trigonometric grid was created at the same time, which was intended to serve as the basis for accurate maps.

Fichtelberg Peace Bell

Highlight • Monument

The peace bell was built as a monument to the unity of Germany and rings for peace, unity, justice and love. Its peal can be heard as far as the neighboring Czech Republic and thus also sounds for a united Europe. The bells ring every Sunday at 4 p.m.

Fichtelberghaus Restaurant & Hotel

Highlight • Restaurant

The Fichtelberg is the highest mountain in Saxony. At 1,214 meters, it is also one of the highest German low mountain ranges. There are all sorts of activities for you up here. After the strenuous ascent you can relax in the Fichtelberghaus. There was already a restaurant up here in 1888. A fire destroyed the original building. A new building was constructed in the 1960s and remodeled in 1999. From the 30 meter high tower you have a great view of the entire Ore Mountains. By the way, you can also stay overnight here. hotel-fichtelberghaus.de

Fichtelberg Summit Cross

Highlight • Summit

The Fichtelberg is the second-highest peak in the Ore Mountains, after Klínovec (Keilberg, 1244 meters), just four kilometers away. At 1215 meters, it is the highest mountain in Saxony and was also the highest mountain in the GDR. A new summit cross has stood on the summit plateau since May 29, 2024. Erik Schulze, the deputy mayor of Oberwiesenthal, had promised to find a replacement for the old, already rather dilapidated cross that was swept away by hurricane "Fred" on November 5, 2023, with a gust of 106.6 kilometers per hour. He made the new summit cross himself from spruce wood. The crossbeam bears the words "1215 m" and "FICHTELBERG." The inscription on the old cross read "1215 ü M Fichtelberg" on the horizontal bar, and "Glück Auf Sachsen" on the vertical bar.
