Oberwiesenthal - Blick auf den Ort und den Keilberg
🇩🇪 Saxony · Germany — Altitude 914 m
This live camera looks across Oberwiesenthal, the highest town in Germany, toward the Keilberg in the Ore Mountains. It is useful if you want to see how the town and the surrounding slopes look right now before travelling or planning a day outdoors.
Oberwiesenthal sits on the German side of the Ore Mountains, on the border with the Czech Republic, in the Free State of Saxony. At around 900 metres it is the highest town in Germany, and its setting is shaped by forested ridges, open meadows and the wide summit of the Fichtelberg, the highest peak in Saxony. The town is known as a base for winter sports and for hiking and cycling in summer, and its historic mining heritage still shapes parts of the region.
The view is framed by the town and the mountain landscape around it, with the Keilberg as the main reference point. Because this is a hill town at altitude, conditions can change quickly: cloud can roll over the ridges within an hour, and snow or fog is common in the colder months. Mornings often bring clearer air, while late afternoon light can bring out the shape of the hills. Check the live picture for the current state of the sky and snow cover.
The Ore Mountains have a cool, often damp climate with cold winters and mild summers. Winter is the season for snow and skiing, while late spring through early autumn suits walking and cycling. The nearby Fichtelberg cameras on this site show the summit and ski slopes, which can help you judge conditions at the higher points. Dress in layers, as temperatures at this altitude can differ noticeably from the valleys below.
