Hohe Matze, Mountain summit in Fichtelgebirge, Bavaria, Germany.

The Hohe Matze rises to 813 meters above sea level, featuring distinctive oval-shaped rocks scattered across its peak and forested slopes.

Documentation from 1393 first recorded this mountain as 'mazen', which later transformed into its current name through linguistic evolution.

The mountain name translates to 'willow mountain' in High German, reflecting the traditional naming practices of the Bavarian region.

Multiple hiking trails connect the towns of Nagel and Tröstau, offering routes of varying distances from 9 to 20 kilometers for different experience levels.

The mountain marks the intersection of the watershed between the North Sea and Black Sea, while also crossing the 50th parallel.
