Frankenberg is a small town near Chemnitz in close vicinity to the Ore Mountains and simultaneously in the heart of Saxony. Its central location makes it an ideal starting point for visiting all of Saxony’s must-see highlights.

How does a trip to Dresden or the Ore Mountains sound? The Ore Mountains boast an array of attractive offers, especially during Advent and Christmas. Perhaps you would also be interested in visiting the Meißner Porcelain Factory or one of Chemnitz’ many museums? Either way, you’ve chosen the perfect starting point for discovering everything Saxony has to offer.

Nearby you will find the baroque Lichtenwalde Castle and Gardens picturesquely situated on the high banks of the Zschopau River. Special highlights here include the park’s lovely water art and the blossoms of the 100-year-old rhododendron that bloom at the end of May.

Not far off is the mining city of Freiberg, with its monument-protected city center and the Freiberg Cathedral with its famous Silbermann organ. Famous far beyond our region’s borders is the Augustusburg Castle, which allures visitors with many attractive exhibitions and events.  Its Motorcycle Museum is world-famous. 

Paths leading through the scenic beauty of the Zschopau Valley invite you to enjoy leisurely strolls and hikes. Our more athletic guests are welcome to enjoy jogging, walking, tennis, biking, skating, rowing, and paddling in the nearby surroundings.
