This live camera looks at the Fichtelberg, the highest peak in Saxony at about 1,215 metres. Watch it to judge cloud cover, visibility and snow conditions before you plan a walk or a trip up the Ore Mountains.
About the Fichtelberg
The Fichtelberg rises above the small town of Oberwiesenthal in the Ore Mountains, the range on the border between Saxony and the Czech Republic. It is the highest mountain in the Free State of Saxony and is known for its open summit, its long ski slopes and its role as a winter sports centre in eastern Germany. The surrounding landscape is a mix of spruce forest, meadows and granite-rich ridges, and the air up here often feels noticeably cooler than in the valleys below.
What the camera shows
The camera is positioned in the mountain area, so the view is shaped mainly by the weather: fog and cloud can roll over the summit within minutes, while clear spells can give long views across the surrounding ridges. Snow cover is most often visible from late autumn to spring, and the contrast between white slopes and dark forest makes the scene particularly readable at those times. Check the local time and weather blocks on this page before expecting a clear picture.
Practical information
The Ore Mountains have a cool, changeable climate, and conditions on the summit can be much harsher than in Oberwiesenthal. Late spring and early autumn are usually calm for hiking, while winter suits skiing and snow walks. Nearby cameras on this page show Oberwiesenthal and the ski slopes below the summit, which help you compare conditions at different heights.
