Special Events

These are the Highlights and Events in Bischofsmais and at the Geisskopf!

What's happening in Bischofsmais and the surrounding area?

The beginning of the year will be celebrated with the proper fireworks. If there is enough snow, snow bars will be set up and they are used to also serve a glass of (mostly) German champagne.

With this fluid change one moves right into the winter season. Skiing, toboggan, snowboarding in the "Boarderpark" with Halfpipe, and more, are a delight of any snow-connoisseur. During spring, however, the crocus not only spring up on the grounds of the lift area of the Geisskopf-facilities and invite us to undertake wonderful hikes - e.g. to the Landshuter house on the Oberbreitenau. The summer toboggan run is a delight for the young and more mature people. Furthermore, the largest Biking-Park in Germany is not only opened during the summer but also until late in the fall and invites acrobats and other biking-experts alike to demanding tours.

Finally let us end the year on New Years Eve in a manner befitting the occasion. However, during the year there are lots of other opportunities:
