The landscape around Olbernhau is a wooded, rolling stretch of the Saxon Ore Mountains along the Flöha River, a setting that has influenced both its settlement pattern and working life. Close to the Czech border, the town belongs to a region long associated with metalworking, forestry and finely made wooden goods. At Grünthal, the Saigerhütte preserves a historic copper-processing complex whose origins reach back to the 16th century, while the wider area is also known for Erzgebirge Christmas traditions. Olbernhau is a useful base for exploring the mountain borderland on foot or by rail. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Saxony’s Ore Mountains.
