The region is especially known for its traditional crafts such as carving wooden figures or making Erzgebirge candle arches and pyramids. An absolute must is a visit to the "Toyland" Seiffen, where you can experience first-hand how these works of art are created.

In addition to the cultural highlights, there are also many outdoor activities to enjoy. In summer, the nearby Pöhla reservoir beckons for swimming and boating. Hikers can look forward to numerous routes through forests and mountains - the tours around the Fichtelberg or the Saidenbach dam are particularly recommended.

But Börnichen/Erzgebirge also has a lot to offer in winter: Ski enthusiasts get their money's worth at the Oberwiesenthal ski area. Cross-country skiers will also find ideal conditions here.

For those interested in culture, a visit to Augustusburg Castle or the famous mountain church of St. Mary in Annaberg-Buchholz is worthwhile.

Culinary delights will not disappoint you in Börnichen/Erzgebirge: Be sure to try the hearty specialities such as Erzgebirgischer Rostbraten or the famous Eierschecke.

And if it should rain? Then a visit to the "Erlebnisbad Wiesenbad" with sauna and wellness area is recommended.

Where is the most beautiful place in Börnichen/Erzgebirge? That's hard to say, as each place has its own charm. But the views from the Fichtelberg or the Saidenbach dam are certainly particularly impressive.

In short: Börnichen/Erzgebirge is definitely worth a trip - no matter what time of year! Use this travel guide for your planning and discover all the beauty of this region for yourself.

    Eine erstaunlich gute Rundtour, mit genialen Fernblicken. So etwas hätte ich offen gestanden, rund um Waldkirchen überhaupt nicht erwartet. Deshalb war ich so frei und habe diese Wanderung verfilmt, auf dass noch viele Menschen diese schöne Tour finden. Wer vorab mehr sehen möchte, dem sei dieser Film vorab empfohlen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUzyLLuzssM&t=208s

    Entspannte Wanderung zu und um die Talsperren, viele asphaltierte Wege, dadurch auch Radfahrer unterwegs, mehrere Rastmöglichkeiten vorhanden.

    Eine sehr schöne Wanderung mit vielen Ausblicken. Zum Glück sind wir nach GPS Daten gelaufen. Es war ein Trampelpfad entlang der Zschopau dabei, deren Abzweig leicht zu übersehen waren. Insgesamt eine Wanderung die wir gern Weiterempfehlen. Danke für den Wnderbeitrag.

    Eine sehr schöne Wanderung, erstklassig beschildert. Wir haben als Einstieg den Wanderparkplatz an der ehemaligen Gaststätte „Grüner Wald“ gewählt.

    Der Weg von der kleinen Talsperre Richtung Parkplatz, is kein Weg sondern quer durch den Wald, war vielleicht vor vielen Jahren mal ein Weg. Sonst sehr ruhig, viele schöne Rastmöglichkeiten, aber keine Gaststätte, außer bei Start und Ziel.
