**Rocky winter in Neustadt**
============================

Is there a treasure slumbering beneath Neustadt in Saxony? Quite possible! For centuries, miners and fortune-seekers have been searching for gold here, at the border between the Elbe Sandstone Mountains and the Lusatian Highlands—and occasionally they've found some. However, the work was arduous and the yield meager. To date, no one has come across the gold vein suspected to be here. That has its benefits: the peacefulness of this quaint small town has been preserved.

Thanks to its location on the edge, Neustadt is among the insider tips for winter holiday destinations in the Saxon Switzerland. Those seeking tranquility will find it on one of the solitary winter hiking routes through the picturesque surroundings. Popular tours include trips to the Unger (538 meters) or the Götzingerhöhe (425 meters). Regional visitor magnet attractions include the tropical sauna and bathing paradise Mariba as well as the Neustadthalle with its diverse cultural program. There is also one of the few ski slopes with a lift in the region. And the story of the gold? It is recounted in the local Gold Museum.
