Hey Discoverers,

 

you are invited to a special Christmas experience!

 

We will head to Annaberg-Buchholz, a lovely historic town of about 20 thousand inhabitants on the German side of Krušné hory (Ore Mountains), about a 2 hour drive from Prague.

 

Every year, there is a very charming Christmas market with local handcrafted goods and food. It’s a perfect place to buy some unique Christmas presents and get in the mood for the most wonderful time of the year!

 

The city is situated at 600 meters above the sea, so there is a good chance of having snow for a real Christmas atmosphere!

 

Annaberg is not just about the Christmas market, it is also a very picturesque place, with many notable buildings, churches and interesting sights to visit.

 

For example the beautiful late gothic St. Anne’s Church with an altarpiece depicting mining activities, smaller St. Mary’s miners’ church exclusively financed by a miners’ guild or Manufaktur der Träume –  a museum showcasing toys, miniatures & other crafts made in the region.

 

One can easily spend there a whole day and not seeing all of the points of interest!

 

In 2019, the whole area was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites as “Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří Mining Region” with 17 sites in Germany and 5 in Czechia.
