Barenstein

Bärenstein occupies a mountain valley along the Pöhlbach in Saxony’s Ore Mountains, directly beside the Czech border. The stream separates the town from Vejprty in the Czech Republic, making this a long-established meeting point between the two sides of the range. Above the settlement rises Bärenstein mountain, reaching 898 metres and forming a prominent local landmark. The surrounding Ore Mountains were shaped for centuries by metal mining, a legacy recognised in the UNESCO-listed Ore Mountain Mining Region. Today, Bärenstein is a compact border town framed by woodland, upland slopes and cross-border connections. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Saxony’s Ore Mountains.
