Moving at your own pace through the charming nature of the Ore Mountains - that is pure happiness! Our house is ideally situated for hikers and cyclists, as the ancient name "Kreuztanne" reveals: up on the ridge trail, very close to the forest, by the dark fir, where the paths of the Old Salt Road and the Old Bohemian Trail cross.

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.

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!
