This live camera looks out over Oberwiesenthal, the highest town in Germany, in the Ore Mountains on the Czech border. It is useful for a quick look at mountain conditions, snow cover and cloud before you travel. The stream is shown in HD with the local time and forecast on this page.
A mountain town on the Czech border
Oberwiesenthal sits in the Ore Mountains of Saxony, close to the border with the Czech Republic. It is best known as the gateway to the Fichtelberg, the highest peak in the Saxon highlands, and as a base for winter sports and hiking. The town has a compact centre, wooden houses and a strong link to the region's mining and music traditions. The surrounding forests and open ridges change noticeably with the seasons.
What the view shows and when to watch
The title names a view towards the north, so the camera is aimed across the town and its surroundings rather than at a single landmark. Depending on the view, you may see rooftops, slopes and tree lines. Mornings and clear days give the sharpest picture, while winter cloud and snowfall can change the scene quickly. Watching before a drive up the mountain helps you judge the road and visibility.
Climate and getting around
The Ore Mountains are cold and wet compared with the lowlands, with snow often lying from winter into spring. Summer is mild and suited to hiking, and autumn colours are attractive. Nearby cameras on the Fichtelberg ski slope and the Fichtelberg summit view give a closer look at the high ground, and a Czech camera at Keilberg covers the mountains across the border.
