The Ore Mountains, or Erzgebirge, form a breathtaking natural border between Germany and the Czech Republic. This enchanting region is famed for its rich mining history that dates back centuries, lending its name, 'Ore', from the abundant natural resources extracted here. Today, visitors flock to its rolling landscapes dotted with charming villages, alpine meadows, and snowy peaks perfect for winter sports. The area's intriguing mix of cultural heritage, scenic walking trails, and unique wooden crafts make it a must-visit.
Among the highlights is the quaint town of Annaberg-Buchholz, famous for its beautiful St. Anne’s Church and lively Christmas markets. Nearby, the city of Oberwiesenthal claims the title of Germany's highest town and is a popular ski destination. Additionally, the picturesque Seiffen, known as 'Toy Village', is renowned for its traditional handcrafted wooden toys. Each area within the Ore Mountains boasts its own unique cultural identity, offering visitors a diverse and enriching experience steeped in history and tradition.
