Scenic hike through the mining landscape of Pöhlberg

You will climb high on our 832m high local mountain, situated in the midst of the UNESCO World Heritage Montanregion Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří. 

On the eastern side of Pöhlberg, located in a rural cultivated area, there is a mining district documented since the 15th century. After the introduction of the Saiger process, silver could be extracted from the copper ore mined here at the Grüntal Saigerhütte. Let yourself be enchanted by the nature, landscape, and views that the Pöhlberg area offers you.
