Altenberg

Altenberg is best known within Saxony for its bobsleigh, luge and skeleton track, a leading venue for winter-sport competition in the Ore Mountains. The town lies in the eastern part of this mountain range, close to the Czech border and surrounded by the forested highlands of the Osterzgebirge. Altenberg’s long association with tin mining is marked by the Altenberg Pinge, a vast collapse feature created by centuries of underground extraction. In winter, the area is also a base for cross-country skiing and alpine activities.
