A day in the snow from Oberwiesenthal - up to the Fichtelberg
Activities: We hiked up the Fichtelberg. We started early in the morning and began our ascent on the Ostseite of the mountain. We walked past hotels and the Meeresaquarium. We reached the summit where we took photos. Afterwards, we walked down to the Fichtelberghütte
Highlights: We loved the snow-covered trees and the views from the top. We made a short picknick-pause and took some pictures with the drone. The kids loved to slide down the hill with a big black tire. "A wonderful day in the snow" ✨
Winter in Oberwiesenthal and on the Fichtelberg - Alpine and cross-country skiing with the family
Activities: We went skiing on the slopes of Fichtelberg. We started on the blue piste to get back into the rhythm and then went up to the small Fichtelberg. We also enjoyed skiing down through the forest. On the second day, we spent most of the time on Piste 9, also called Himmelsleiter
Highlights: We had a lot of fun skiing on the blue slopes. The pistes were perfectly prepared. The kids had a blast skiing with us on the easy slopes and enjoyed the break at Haus am Berg and Fichtelberghütte for food ✨
Winter magic in Oberwiesenthal in the Haus am Berg directly on the ski slope
Activities: We enjoyed skiing! We started with the small ski lift to get back in the swing of things, then took the lift to the top. The slopes were perfectly prepared, and we had a lot of fun being active in the snow. We made several runs, and the kids were hard to stop
Highlights: The kids loved the slopes! The perfectly prepared pistes were great for us to be active in the snow. The trees were full of snow, and it looked like a winter wonderland. The higher we went with the lifts, the more the trees were icy ✨
