Experience the special flair of the Christmas season.

Hardly any other region in Saxony is as famous for its Christmas rituals as the Erzgebirge with its unique tradition of wooden art and toy making.

You can look over the shoulders of master craftsmen at work in a number of workshops that have been preserved to this day and experience traditional craftsmanship up close: hoop turning in a Seiffen toymaker's workshop, lace-making in an Annaberg parlor, the production of smoked candles with the popular Christmas scents and the baking of Erzgebirge Christmas stollen.

Particularly moving are the mining parades and processions as well as Metten shifts in the strongholds of the former silver mining industry. The traditions and customs in the Ore Mountains are many centuries old and are an integral part of Saxony's culture.
