Schoneck

Built around the medieval Schöneck Castle site, Schöneck grew into a small upland town in Saxony’s Vogtland. At roughly 700 metres above sea level, it ranks among the region’s highest towns, standing on wooded heights near the western edge of the Ore Mountains. The former castle, from which the settlement developed, recalls the medieval shaping of this historic borderland. Today, Schöneck is closely associated with outdoor recreation: its elevated terrain supports winter sports as well as walking and cycling routes through the surrounding forest. It is a quieter place from which to get a sense of the Vogtland beyond Saxony’s larger urban centres.
