Rock winter in Bad Gottleuba - Berggießhübel

The crystal-clear Gottleuba peacefully babbles as it flows from the Eastern Ore Mountains toward the Elbe. It has made itself beautiful over the millennia: Its valley is a romantic hiking area with ever-new impressions. Iron ore mining brought life and prosperity. Healing springs brought a flourishing spa industry. The twin spa town of Bad Gottleuba-Berggießhübel lives and tells of this fascinating past.

Elbe Sandstone Mountains or Ore Mountains, Saxony or Bohemia, health or hiking holiday, wellness or culture, above or below ground: The small town with its two historic centers and the visitor mine "Marie Louise Stolln" leaves you the choice. Even in winter. A dense network of well-signposted hiking and terrain cure trails invites you to explore the varied landscape even in the cold season. And music nights, traditional miners' Christmas shifts (Mettenschichten), Advent markets, carnival events, piano evenings, readings, diverse evening concerts as well as restaurants with excellent regional cuisine shorten long evenings.
