Fahrenberg

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.

The mountain has drawn the attention of explorers and geologists studying Bavaria's natural landscape since early times. Over the centuries it gradually became a destination for hikers and eventually developed its winter sports facilities.

The summit draws local hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who regularly visit to walk the forest paths and enjoy the view. This tradition of recreational mountain use shapes the area's character today.

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.

Fahrenberg serves as a key reference point in the landscape of Landkreis Neustadt an der Waldnaab and holds historical importance in regional geography. Visitors sometimes discover old boundary markers and historical survey points near the summit.
