Ski holidays Marienberg - Cross-country skiing holidays for the whole family!

Marienberg

The town of Marienberg is located in the Erzgebirge mountains, not far from Chemnitz, at an altitude of 620 metres. The old town of Marienberg, including the market square, exudes a very special charm, as it is clearly influenced by the Italian Renaissance style. The imposing St. Mary's Church, on the other hand, reflects the late Gothic style.

In the Erzgebirge mountain town, the specialist shops for handicrafts are definitely worth a visit, because in the Erzgebirge, among other things, the little smoking men and the traditional candle arches are made. These make a great souvenir or a welcome Christmas gift, for example.

After about 40 minutes by car you will reach the town of Oberwiesenthal with the associated InterSki Region Fichtelberg - Klínovec. Oberwiesenthal lies at an altitude of 914 m and is thus one of the highest places in Germany. In addition to skiing, the town itself is also worth a trip, as the spa town offers many wellness options, among other things.

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.
