Schneehübel, Mountain peak with summit cross in the Vogtland, Saxony, Germany

Schneehübel is a mountain peak in the western Ore Mountains of Saxony that rises to 974 meters with steep slopes and thick forest coverage. A monumental cross stands at its summit and can be seen from many points across the surrounding valleys.

The Schneehübel lies on the Grenzflügel ridge path between Rautenkranz and Carlsfeld, the line dividing the Ore Mountains from the Vogtland. Its 974.2-metre summit is the highest point of the Vogtland and stands on the Rautenkranz cadastral area, now part of Muldenhammer. In 2008 Rautenkranz residents set up a larch summit cross, which had to be removed for lack of forestry permission and was re-erected in late September 2009 with a summit book.

The summit cross is a larch wood cross erected by Rautenkranz citizens in 2008, bearing the mountain's name, its height and a symbolic snowflake. It was taken down again because the forestry administration had not authorised it, then re-erected at the end of September 2009 and fitted with a summit book. The Schneehübel is the local mountain of both Rautenkranz and Carlsfeld.

The summit is reached from Carlsfeld by a 2.5 km footpath with a gentle climb; there are no signposts along the way. Parking is available at the forest edge on Talsperrenstrasse. The route follows the Grenzflügel ridge path between Rautenkranz and Carlsfeld, the dividing line between the Ore Mountains and Vogtland.

The cross at the summit is visible from many locations across the surrounding valleys and serves as a practical navigation aid for hikers and residents. Many people use this mountain as a convenient day-trip destination rather than as a serious climbing challenge.
