Hiking
The Fichtelberg Suspension Railway began operating in December 1924, making it the oldest aerial cableway in Germany. The three-and-a-half-minute ride takes you from the valley station at 905 meters above sea level to the mountain station at 1,209 meters. The railway's technology was completely renovated in 2012, and the cabins in 2021.

Alpine skiing
The Fichtelberg suspension railway is the oldest aerial cableway in Germany. Over a length of 1175 m, a height of 303 m is overcome in just under 4 minutes.

Snowshoeing
Anyone who climbs the highest mountain in Saxony at 1214 m above sea level. NHN and "shy" about the descent, he should use the oldest cable car in Germany and float down the snow-covered slopes, at least in winter, into the valley. Oh yes, it opened in December 1924 and will soon be celebrating its 100th birthday.
