Activities in our area

Directly located on the Kammweg; Ore Mountains - Voftland

We are located directly on the Kammweg on stage 2 coming from Holzhau towards Seiffen. Stop in the Waldhotel Kreuztanne and give those tired legs a rest. After a cold beer, a good meal, relaxation in the sauna and a wonderfully restful night, you will be reborn the next day and fit for the further kilometers on foot.

Our region is a UNESCO world heritage site

The Ore Mountains are dotted with unique mountain ranges and wildly romantic river valleys, as well as picturesque villages that have their origins in the region's 800-year mining history.

The region is best known for its tradition, resourcefulness and cordiality. The way of life of the people of the Ore Mountains is unique. Numerous old customs are still lived in a very authentic way and passed on from generation to generation. For example, mountain parades and Mettenschichten are still a regular part of the winter and Christmas seasons in the Ore Mountains.

Old Town of Freiberg

With Freudenstein Castle including the important mineral exhibition "terra mineralia". Also worth seeing is Freiberg Cathedral with a large number of objects of art historical value, including the tulip pulpit (1505), the miner's pulpit (1638), various epitaphs and two Silbermann organs (1711/1714).

Visiting Neuhausen

Europe's first nutcracker museum with the largest nutcracker collection in the world, the largest and smallest nutcracker and the largest music box in the shape of a theater and much more.

A very different kind of experience is a visit to the "Erzgebirgisches Glashüttenmuseum". It is located in the historic Fronfeste, not far from Purschenstein Castle. It houses unique evidence of the art of glassmaking that once existed in the Ore Mountains, dating back to the time of settlements around 1200 and justifying the term "glass country" for this region as early as the Middle Ages.

If you want a particularly beautiful panorama, stop at the Schwartenberg (789 m). Not only is the fantastic view worthwhile, but the landlord of the Schwartenbergbaude always has a joke for his guests!

Visiting Dresden

Dresden is internationally known as a cultural city with numerous important buildings, such as the Baroque Zwinger, excellent museums, such as the Gallery of Old Masters, and famous orchestras, such as the Saxon State Orchestra or the Kreuzchor. Much of Dresden's Old Town has been reconstructed and shaped by different architectural eras, in addition to the Zwinger, for example, with the Frauenkirche on Neumarkt, the Semper Opera House and the Hofkirche, as well as the Residenz Palace. The Striezelmarkt, founded in 1434, is one of the oldest and best-known Christmas markets in Germany. Dresden is also called Florence on the Elbe, originally mainly because of its art collections; its Baroque and Mediterranean-influenced architecture and its picturesque and climatically favorable location in the Elbe Valley have contributed significantly to this.

Discover the Sächsische Schweiz

Sächsische Schweiz is the perfect destination for hiking in Saxony. Varied hiking trails with steps, ladders and short climbs lead through the fascinating rock formations of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. In between, magnificent views await you each time. We are totally excited about hiking in Sächsische Schweiz.

Visit saechsische-schweiz.de for more information about the region. On this website you will find a number of beautiful walks in the area.

Visiting Prague

Just strolling through the historic center of the city is an experience: the many small, winding streets, churches and imposing Gothic and Baroque buildings give the city a charm all of its own. When the sun shines, the "Golden City" certainly shows its best side - according to legend, Prague got this name because of the sandstone towers that glisten gold in the sunlight.

One of the city's most famous attractions is Prague Castle, an imposing complex of churches and fortifications. As you explore the area around the castle, be sure to take a stroll through the beautiful gardens that surround it.

Winter sports in the Erzgebirge 

There are numerous winter sports possibilities in the immediate vicinity of the hotel. When snow conditions are good, we recommend a snowshoe hike directly from the hotel - right across the field with a beautiful view of the snowy ridge of the Ore Mountains!

In the ski areas of Holzhau, Bad Einsiedel and Hermsdorf you will find top level cross-country ski trails. You can reach these areas by car in about 15 minutes.
