Highlights

Let yourself be enchanted by the wood-art of the upper Erzgebirge
Visit the UNESCO world cultural heritage site of the Ore Mountains
Experience the charming mining town Annaberg-Bucholz

Full description

The wealth of the Wettin princes and the baroque splendour of Dresden would hardly be imaginable without the lavish income from ore mining in the Ore Mountains. The art treasures and craftsmanship, the cultural landscape, the scientific institutions or even traditions and folk art of the Ore Mountains are unique in the world. Recently this has also been recognised by the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Committee. Experience a varied day in the upper Ore Mountains, leaving from your pickup point in Leipzig. Your destination for the day is the mining town of Annaberg-Buchholz. Named after the patron saint of the miners, St. Anna, the church of the same name dominates the townscape of the town with its 20,000 inhabitants. On the way there you have the possibility to visit a wood artist in his workshop or to enter a visitor mine. Enjoy the wonderful views of mountain peaks and wildly romantic river valleys.

Wir hatten einen perfekten Tag mit unserem Guide Pedro! Pedro hat uns super pünktlich am Bahnhof in Leipzig abgeholt und konnte uns die ganze Tour über mit seinem Wissen über die Region (Pedro kommt aus dem Erzgebirge!) unterhalten. Die Highlights der Tour waren ein Mittagessen mit dem Ausblick über das ganze Erzgebirge und der Besuch im Bergwerk in Annaberg-Buchholz. Wir würden jederzeit wieder eine Tour mit Pedro buchen und können es auch jedem empfehlen!

The tour was super individual. It was discussed very flexibly what should be looked at & if the schedule had shifted slightly, a new solution was always found. The transfer was perfect and the food was also very tasty and varied.
