광석 산맥‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산장 & 오두막집

In 1903, a mountain hut belonging to the Erzgebirge Association on the summit of Bärenstein formed the nucleus of today's guesthouse and hotel with an observation tower. Ten years later, the hut was expanded into a lodging house. After reunification, the mountain house, now run again as a family business, was reconstructed and reopened in 1992, and renovated again in 2021. The mountain hotel, located at an altitude of 898 meters, offers 22 rustic rooms and, as a special attraction, a 27-meter-high observation tower. On September 11, 1944, the tower was damaged during the air battle over the Ore Mountains ("Black Monday"). Bullet holes can still be seen in the spiral staircase.

The large peace bell on the Fichtelberg had to remain silent for six months in 2024. Stone throwing in May 2022 had so badly damaged the bell that its sound suffered. It was decided to stop ringing it and replace it with a new one. The old bell rang for the last time on Easter Monday 2024. Just in time for the mountain service on German Unity Day on October 3, the new bell was officially rung for the first time in the fall of 2024. The idea of using a peace bell to commemorate the peaceful revolution of 1989 in the GDR and German reunification in 1990 came from watchman Gerd Schlesinger and night watchman Jörg Eller from the Ore Mountains town of Schwarzenberg. The bell was also intended to be heard in neighboring Czechia and thus ring for a united Europe. The cast steel bell, already ninety years old at the time, was rung for the first time in 2010. The new bell was cast in Innsbruck by the Grassmayr company. At 2,700 kilograms, it is about 1,100 kilograms heavier than the old bell.

Impressive basalt quarry and rest area with a witch's cottage in the Tharandt Forest. Information: In the old quarry (in operation until 1913), basalt is exposed over a length of 80 meters and an average height of 16 meters. The striking formation of the predominantly five- to six-sided columns led the Saxon authorities to designate it a natural monument as early as 1939. The quarry, with its small "witch's cottage," is a popular destination for day trips.

A real little witch's house for big and small witches 😜

☆ The oldest stone observation tower in the Ore Mountains. More information can be found at the tower.

This former basalt quarry is beautifully situated in the forest. The rock formations are very fragile and must not be entered or climbed. The area with the Hexenhäusl is a wonderful place to rest, especially on hot summer days.

A steep ascent from Neuhaus to the Schwartenberg with a great view and 🍻🤣👍 . There is definitely a Bauden feeling here.
