Ski holidays Olbernhau – City of seven valleys in the Ore Mountains!

Olbernhau

In the middle of the Western and Eastern Ore Mountains, above the Flöha Valley and not far from the Czech Republic border, lies the small town of Olbernhau. The town obtained its beautiful nickname "Town of the seven valleys" due to its picturesque surroundings of a total of seven valleys through which the river Flöha flows. The approx. 9,000 inhabitants are known for their special hospitality and handicrafts. Copper processing has a long tradition here, and is still practiced today. Therefore it is worthwhile to visit the Saigerhütte Museum, as it is the former centre of copper processing in Saxony. Here, visitors can learn more about the craft traditions of the town and experience the nostalgic Hüttenadvent at Christmas time. Olbernhau's cosy Christmas market looks particularly authentic among the old half-timbered houses.

On the outskirts of the village, with the Frankwarte ski lift on the Hainberg, winter sports enthusiasts will find a fine little ski and toboggan slope. The gentle hilly landscape of the central Ore Mountains is very inviting for long winter hikes. Here you will find complete peace, tranquillity and relaxation. Olbernhau is also a stop on the Ore Mountain Railway, which takes you through the beautiful landscape of the Ore Mountains and allows you to make excursions to the surrounding Saxon towns such as Flöha.

The Ore Mountains

A natural border between Saxony and Bohemia, the Ore Mountains came into being around 300 million years ago and are one of Saxony's most famous holiday region. Surrounded by the Elbsandstein Mountains, the Vogtland and the Northern Bohemian Basin, the two highest peaks of the Ore Mountains just wait to be conquered: the Keilberg on the Czech side (1,244 m) and the Fichtelberg on the German side (1,215 m).

The mining history of this region began in the 12th century with the first findings of the valuable ore after which the region was named. You will not find miners here any more, but mine shafts and tunnels can still be visited today. The hard work can still be felt and seen just like it was back 600 years ago, when miners worked day in day out underground without any daylight.

The beautiful nature offers well looked after hiking tracks as well as great pistes and cross-country trails. The Ore Mountains are a unique combination of relaxation and adventure holiday for young and old.
