The geographical location of Oberwiesenthal is particularly impressive: nestled between the peaks of the Ore Mountains, the town is 914 metres above sea level. The surrounding area is characterised by picturesque forests, lush meadows and crystal-clear lakes - perfect for nature lovers!

One highlight of the region is the tourist attractions such as the Fichtelberg plateau or the historic mines. Cultural highlights include the "Alte Mühle" museum or the St. Wolfgang church.

Oberwiesenthal also has a lot to offer in the way of culinary delights: Be sure to try typical dishes such as beer meat or potato soup with dumplings!

There are numerous opportunities for outdoor activities here: Hiking and cycling tours can be undertaken in summer, while skiing on the surrounding slopes is the order of the day in winter. It's especially nice at the Fichtelsee, where you can swim and go boating.

And what to do when it rains? No problem! Just visit one of the many museums or relax in a cosy café.
