One of the "14 eight-thousanders in the Eastern Ore Mountains" - the Himalayas in the Eastern Ore Mountains!

Height: 847 m

In summer you will find many a black woodpecker, great horned owl and much more in the nature reserve. But the flora should not be underestimated either. Woodruff in particular grows here. Hikers can test the numerous paths into the Bohemian region.

In winter, a magical winter sports area is created here. A double chairlift and various downhill runs make skiers happy. There is also a natural toboggan run over 1000 m long for tobogganists.

On the Hemmschuh you will find a stamp point (next to the wooden hut at the ski lift), which marks the summit as a destination on the "14 eight-thousanders" tour. You can get all the information you need at the Altenberg Tourist Information Office.
