With a height of 728.1 m above sea level, the Fuchshöhe is the highest mountain in the town of Arnsfeld (municipality of Mildenau) in the Erzgebirge district (Saxony). It is a very popular destination for hikers and cyclists, especially since there is the possibility of signing a summit book.
Geographical location
The Fuchshöhe is located southeast of Arnsfeld. It separates the valleys of the Rauschenbach in the east and the Arnsfelder Dorfbach in the west. Both run northwards, where they flow into the Preßnitz in Niederschmiedeberg. In terms of natural regional division, the Fuchshöhe belongs to the Saxon Ore Mountains. In the finer subdivision, it lies in the Central Ore Mountains on the ridge on the upper Preßnitz.
From the Fuchshöhe, the following surrounding mountains can be seen: Pöhlberg (831.1 m) near Annaberg-Buchholz in the west, the Bärenstein (897.8 m) near the municipality of the same name Bärenstein (Erzgebirge) in the southwest and the Haßberg (994 m) in the Czech part of the Erzgebirge in the southeast.
