The Fenatsberg is a 605 m high mountain in the Bavarian Fichtel Mountains .
The elevation, made of granite and largely overgrown by coniferous forest, is 1.1 km northwest of the village of Rauschensteig in the municipality of Röslau in the district of Wunsiedel . The summit can be reached via a forest path that leads in a west-east direction over the Fenatsberg.
The interpretation of the mountain's name is uncertain. In the 17th century the hill is said to have been called "Venusberg", which suggests early Germanic mythology . In the rural population of the village it is called "Teufelsberg".
On the highest point of the mountain there are some granite rocks in which weathering hollows can be seen. These are called " Druid bowls " by the Fichtelgebirge population .
