climate
The high position of the Fichtelgebirge brings a rough mountain climate with it. In the higher parts the first ripening begins at the end of August, and snow often falls as early as the end of September. It rarely melts away from the fields before the beginning of May, and snowdrifts are likely to remain in the forest and between the rocky cliffs until the end of June. Night frosts sometimes set in around Midsummer. Only August and September bring beautiful, warm days. With the abundance of forests and swamps in the mountains, frequent mists rise: they envelop the mountain peaks, then they announce rain.
