Mountain Gateway to the Czech Republic and Dresden
Having found this resort on a business trip, it's a great place to return from time to time. Nice mountain scenery, great places to stay and a good access to nearby sites like Dresden, or Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic.
The Erzgebirge, where Oberwiesenthal is located, is well known for hiking and skiing (former DDR wintersports centre!), but also for the wooden crafts and toys.
Towns like Annaberg-Buchholz and Seiffen are renowned for that, the latter also for it's (crafts) Christmas market.
