Bischofsgrün is a municipality in the district of Bayreuth in Bavaria in Germany.
The Ochsenkopf North Chairlift starts in Bischofsgrün and is one of two chair lifts that climb to the summit of the Ochsenkopf, making the town an ideal location for outdoor recreation year round.
Bischofsgrün is supposedly the town where the art of glassblowing became a true industry.
[citation needed] Glassblowing is no longer a necessity, but Bischofsgrün has become something of a tourist attraction, not for its growth but for its lack of it.
While it does have some bucolic resorts set into foothills, it also still has a few farms, at least one microbrewery, and some impressive stone churches.
