Hiking

In terms of tourism, Bischofsgrün is the largest place in the Fichtelgebirge and is also considered to be the most beautiful.
There are over 300 kilometers of marked hiking trails. The well-known Ochsenkopf ski jump arena offers sporting events. In summer, the heated outdoor pool provides refreshment.
