Hoher Brand

Hoher Brand, Mountain summit in Vogtlandkreis, Germany.

Hoher Brand is a fully wooded mountain in the Vogtlandkreis, Saxony, reaching 802.8 m above sea level. It rises about 5 km west-southwest of Klingenthal, between the Czech border and the Zwota valley. The summit area lies on the Hoher Hahn ridge, counted today as part of the Western Ore Mountains.

The mountain played a role in surveying and mapping the region, marked by a stone left by Royal Saxon surveyors during the 19th century. This marker shows how important the location was for geographical documentation of the area at that time.

The mountain attracts winter sports enthusiasts who gather regularly on its slopes and cross-country skiing trails. This tradition of meeting and recreation remains an important part of community life in the region.

Visitors can use several hiking paths with varying difficulty levels that suit different fitness levels and preferences. Access points have parking areas and information boards that help with navigation and explain the local geology and environment.

On the summit stands a triangulation stone from the Royal Saxon land survey, a fixed measuring point used to map the region. In snowy winters the 9 km Hohe-Brand-Loipe crosses the mountain between the Gopplasgrüner Höhe car park on the B283 and the Erlabach district of Landesgemeinde; a separate 5 km trail is signposted for families.
