Sehmatal

Sehmatal is best known in Saxony for Cranzahl, the starting point of the narrow-gauge Fichtelbergbahn railway to Kurort Oberwiesenthal. The municipality occupies the upper valley of the Sehma in the Ore Mountains, close to the Czech border, and brings together the districts of Cranzahl, Sehma and Neudorf. From Cranzahl, steam trains of the Fichtelbergbahn climb through the mountain landscape towards the Fichtelberg area, making the line one of the region’s enduring railway traditions. Sehmatal also lies in a part of the Erzgebirge shaped for centuries by mining and the craft culture associated with it; the Mining Cultural Landscape Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
