Seehügel, Mountain summit in Fichtelgebirge, Germany.
Seehügel is a 953 m high chamber elevation of the Scheeberg in the Fichtelgebirge, lying in the Schneeberg massif directly south of the Nußhardt. The nearest village is Fichtelberg; the Ochsenkopf lies to the west and the Platte to the southeast. The European watershed between the North Sea and the Black Sea runs over its summit.
The mountain takes its name from a nearby lake and has long been a recognized destination for hikers in the region. Over time, a network of established trails connected this peak with other locations throughout the Fichtelgebirge.
The Seehaus on the western slope at 922 m is the Fichtelgebirgsverein's own hut, and the summit is crossed by the association's Höhenweg, Seenweg and Mittelweg trails as well as the Fränkische Gebirgsweg. The name Seehügel refers to the hill above the Fichtelsee, a name first recorded as Seeberg in 1799.
Four marked long-distance trails cross the summit: the Fränkische Gebirgsweg, the Höhenweg, the Seenweg and the Mittelweg of the Fichtelgebirgsverein. The Mittelweg climbs from the B 303 past the Seehaus, a hut of the Fichtelgebirgsverein at 922 m on the west slope. Deep prospecting trenches beside that path mark former tin mining.
A saddle point near the summit is a recognized feature among mapmakers and marks an important spot in the terrain profile. This col lies several hundred meters from the highest point and creates a natural transition between two slopes.
