Trips to Chemnitz -
an interesting mix of modern, history,
tradition, countryside and art

Plan branching out from Chemnitz, the city of
modern times, to Dresden, Leipzig, Sächsische
Schweiz (Saxon Switzerland), Ore Mountains
and Vogtland. Visit the numerous wildly
romantic fortresses and castles. Walk
through the soft hills of the countryside,
explore Seiffen, Meissen, Annaberg-Buchholz
and many of the other towns with their Ore
Mountain art and traditions.
A firm favourite of tourists is also a trip on the
historical railway near Dresden or the historical
railway Preßnitztalbahn. Or you can hop on to
the oldest cableway of Germany from Ober-
wiesenthal to the top of the Fichtelberg. From
there you have a superb view of the Central
Ore Mountains and the Bohemian Highlands.
