Private Day Tour to Ore Mountains from Leipzig
Discover the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Ore Mountains where mining history permeates every corner.
The town of Annaberg, named after a patron saint of miners, is just one of the many fascinating stops on your journey. Notable figures such as master mathematician Adam Ries and punk legend Nina Hagen have called this place home. Savour the panoramic view from the 832m high Pöhlberg and explore the chilly 8° depths of a visitor mine. Sample traditional dishes like the “Neunerlei” or delve into the artistry of Ore Mountains woodcraft at the “Manufactury of Dreams”. Here, you'll visit an artisan's workshop filled with the scent of fresh timber. Your route to Schneeberg meanders through charming Erzgebirge villages, bucolic river valleys and gentle low mountain ranges. In Schwarzenberg, take a moment to appreciate the medieval old town and its imposing castle. Schneeberg is known for its College of Textile Design, and if you're lucky, you might even get to meet a distinguished graduate in the market square.
On your return journey to Leipzig, look forward to a brief introduction to the diverse Christmas traditions of the Ore Mountains. Along the way, indulge in local tastings – snacks, drinks, and regional specialities.
