Kösseine, Mountain summit in Fichtelgebirge, Germany
The Kösseine rises to 939 meters above sea level, featuring extensive granite formations and a prominent plateau that overlooks the Bavarian landscape.
First documented in 1283, the mountain territory was transferred to Duke Louis the Strict, Count Palatine of Rhine and Duke of Bavaria.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe conducted scientific studies at Kösseine in 1785 and 1820, examining granite weathering patterns and creating geological sketches.
The Kösseinehaus mountain lodge provides year-round accommodation and meals, accessible only through walking paths as vehicle access remains restricted.
The European watershed between the North Sea and Black Sea crosses the mountain, marking a natural division between Upper Franconia and Upper Palatinate.
