Ochsenkopf, Mountain summit in Fichtel Mountains, Bavaria, Germany.
The Ochsenkopf reaches 1,024 meters in elevation and features both an observation tower and a transmission tower at its peak.
Mining activities near Ochsenkopf began in 1495, leading to the mountain's name first appearing in official mining documentation during that period.
The summit connects to surrounding villages of Bischofsgrün, Fichtelberg, and Warmensteinach, forming a center for regional outdoor activities throughout the year.
Two chairlifts provide access to the summit from different directions: the north lift from Bischofsgrün and the south lift from Fleckl.
The European watershed runs across Ochsenkopf, with the White Main River flowing to the Rhine and the Fichtelnaab flowing toward the Danube.
