Advent season in Schneeberg: a mountain town in a blaze of light.
When the lights are switched on in Schneeberg at 6 p.m. sharp on the Saturday before the first Advent and festive tower music can be heard from St. Wolfgang's Church, the Advent season has arrived. For four weeks, the town shines in atmospheric lighting - candle arches in almost every window and festive lights on houses and streets make Schneeberg glow like a giant Christmas mountain. The Christmas market on the market square, lined with specially designed stalls in baroque style, provides a magical backdrop.
The atmosphere of the Schneeberg Christmas market is a must for Advent fans: the aromas of bratwurst and mulled wine, traditional stollen and the extensive range of Erzgebirge folk art and high-quality handicrafts invite you to stroll around and get in the mood for Christmas.
With its rich mining history and a modern, creative spirit, Schneeberg combines tradition and progress. Here you can discover glove makers, candle workshops, chocolate making, lace-making and carving, a clock and jewelry manufactory and felt making - a variety that makes Schneeberg something special and never fails to delight visitors.
