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 27, 2023, Asenturm on Ochsenkopf

Not for nothing one of the most popular destinations in the Fichtelgebirge, whether on foot, by mountain bike or by chairlift, everyone gets their money's worth up here. Access to the Asenturm is free and definitely worth it. From here you have a wonderful view far into the Fichtelgebirge. A visit to the Asenturm restaurant is definitely a good idea, nice terrace and nice service, food and drinks at fair prices. Beautiful photo motifs are the landmark, the summit cross and the Goethefelsen.

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.

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.

Here, at an altitude of approximately 887 meters, the Weiße Main, one of the two headwaters of the Main river, originates. The spring is designated as a geopoint. In 1717, the spring was enclosed by Johann Caspar Munder, master of the hunt from Bischofsgrün, on behalf of the Margrave Georg Friedrich Carl of Bayreuth. At that time, it was given the name Fürstenbrunnen. The Hohenzollern coat of arms and the Margrave's initials can still be seen on the spring stone today.

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".
