At an altitude of 900 metres, the rain in Upper Franconia turned into snowflakes on Saturday – and coloured the landscape in magical white.
Bischofsgrün – While it will be stormy and raining in the rest of Bavaria over the weekend, snow was also possible in the higher altitudes, according to the forecast. And indeed, there was snowfall in Upper Franconia. Meteorologically and calendar-wise, it is still autumn, but on the Schneeberg near Bischofsgrün, district of Wunsiedel, winter has already stretched out its white feelers.
