This family's experience:

Activities: We wanted to go sledding from the top of the Fichtelberg. We rented sleds at Starthaus. However, the line at the Fichtelberg cable car was so long that we had to postpone our plan. We then went sledding on the toboggan run in Oberwiesenthal

Highlights: The kids were really looking forward to sledding from the top but the queues were too long. They still had a lot of fun on the toboggan run in Oberwiesenthal. We will definitely come back to try the main run ✨
