- Weather forecast - Meteomedia weather station "Erbeskopf" with 4-day forecast
- Note for winter sports enthusiasts: You can calculate the expected fresh snow from the forecast yourself. Rule of thumb: 1 mm of precipitation results in about 1 cm of cardboard snow (at temperatures around 0 ° C). Powder snow usually falls at lower temperatures. Here, 1 mm of precipitation results in a snow depth of 1-2 cm.
