Fahrenberg, Mountain summit in Bavaria, Germany

Fahrenberg is an 801 meter (2,625 feet) high mountain in the Northern Oberpfalz Forest region of Bavaria, surrounded by dense woodland throughout its slopes. The area features multiple hiking trails and operates a small ski lift and runs during winter months for recreational skiers.

A castle stood on the Fahrenberg before 1200 and passed to the Knights Templar around 1200; tradition holds that a member of the order brought a statue of the Virgin Mary from the Holy Land in 1204, and a chapel was built against the castle, later turned into a small monastery housing the image. This began the Marian pilgrimage that continues today. After the Hussite wars, the Reformation and the Thirty Years' War, the Lobkowicz family had a new church built, completed in 1762; it burned in 1772 and was rebuilt by 1779.

The mountain's pilgrimage began around 1204, when a Templar brought a statue of the Virgin Mary from the Holy Land; a chapel was built beside the castle and the castle later became a small monastery housing the image. Pilgrims from neighbouring Bohemia still come, a cross-border flow interrupted during the Cold War and revived after the fall of the Iron Curtain.

The best way to reach the summit is on foot using marked hiking trails that depart from several points in the surrounding area. In winter the paths are often snow-covered, so sturdy boots and an early start are recommended.

The rock group Feneisenstein, 300 m southeast of the summit, is protected as a natural monument and exposes folded Moldanubian biotite gneiss typical of the western Fahrenberg; the eastern side shows a glimmer-schist-like gneiss (diaphthorite). The summit area also holds a ski and snowboard centre run by TV Vohenstrauß 1864, with three runs between 661 and 801 m and snow cannons.
