Ochsenkopf, Mountain summit in Fichtelgebirge, Austria.

The Ochsenkopf reaches 1024 meters above sea level and features a communication tower and observation platform at its peak.

Mining documents from 1495 contain the first written mention of Ochsenkopf, referencing mining activities by Lorenz von Ploben.

The mountain's name originates from a steer head carving found in rock formations at the summit of this Austrian peak.

Two ropeways provide year-round access to the summit, with the northern station in Bischofsgrün and southern station in Fleckl.

The mountain stands at the European watershed, where the headstreams of the White Main River and Fichtelnaab originate.
