Beautiful source on the northeastern slope of the Ochsenkopf near Bischofsgrün. Good accessibility, as well as opportunities to relax (benches, etc.). The White Main unites west of Kulmbach with the Red Main and flows at Mainz in the Rhine.

A short, crisp climb - what could be better than a good snack and a cool drink, before you take more trails under the wheels. Good and cozy stop!

In Kösseineturm there is a plate that identifies the mountains visible on the horizon. Good to see are Schneeberg, Ochsenkopf, Mehlmaisel and (not shown on the map) south of the volcanic cone Rauher Kulm.

February 14, 2023, Kösseine Summit and Observation Tower

Beautiful all-round view and in good weather you can see as far as the Fichtelberg and the Czech Republic, the Arber or the Rauhen Kulm.

Very cozy hut with a beautiful sun terrace. A must for Fichtelgebirge hikers.

Because of the clear, wide view in all directions (Bavarian Forest, Rhön, Thuringian Forest, Ore Mountains), the Kösseine was a popular destination from an early stage. The level of awareness was significantly increased in 1805 by visiting the then Prussian sovereignty. Opened to tourists since 1878, the mountain still attracts many hikers and cyclists today. There is no public road to the summit. The stone observation tower and the “Kösseinehaus” accommodation house of the Fichtelgebirge association invite you to take a look and stop for a bite to eat.

Because of the free, wide view in all directions (Bavarian Forest, Rhön, Thuringian Forest, Ore Mountains), the mountain was a popular destination from an early stage, and the level of awareness was significantly increased in 1805 by a visit to the then Prussian sovereignty. Opened up for tourism from 1878, the mountain still attracts many hikers who have to climb it on foot because there is no public road to the summit.

A real highlight, whether by bike or as a hiker, you have a wonderful place for a rest or a break here. Great terrace with a beautiful view, great snacks and pan dishes at fair prices. But you should bring some time with you. Note opening hours. https://www.das-koesseinehaus.de/

At a height of 887 m, the White Main rises on the eastern slope of the Ochsenkopf, also known as the "Princely Fountain". Ever since it was bordered in 1827 with the inscription "Weißmainquelle", the spring has been a welcome stop on the Ochsenkopf ascent. Even Goethe is said to have taken a refreshing drop here, which I was denied during my visit today, as it really only "dribbled".
