The Erzgebirge is well-known in particular for its living traditions and customs during the Christmas season, which have a reputation all over the world. To watch the gigantic pyramids on the market places, the processions through the streets of old mining villages, and the bright lights illuminating even the smallest towns, is an experience which you will never forget.
