Erzgebirge, the Ore mountain range is a mountain range that has formed the natural boundary between Saxony of Germany and Bohemia of the Czech Republic for centuries. On the west side the Ore Mountains are adjacent to the lower level of Bayern Fittelgarbar. Fichtelberg has an altitude of 1214.6 meters, the highest mountain in Germany.
In the 15th century silver and tin ores were discovered, resulting in the maintenance of mountains and the creation of cities. Because of the abundance of mineral resources such as iron ore, iron, copper, cobalt, uranium, silver, tin, people in the German-speaking world literally called Erzgebirge which means the mountain range of the metal mine. The silver discovered in Joachimsthal was used to polish coins known as Joachimsthaler or Thaler, from which the dollar derives.
Seiffen of East Ore Mountains is the center of the wooden toy industry. Ore deposits and related projects declined in the 18th century, so former miners had to seek out new ways to feed their families. In addition to race making and weaving, prisoners entered wood carvings and produced toys and religious figures. For decades thereafter the Erzgebirge area became famous for many Christmas traditions. Christmas pyramids, Christmas stories and mines, carousels of Schwibbogen figures, wooden arches (representing the mine entrance) with candles on the windows are part of the many Christmas goodies made in the Ore Mountains.
Currently, the mountains are popular winter sports resorts that do a lot of activities. Cross-country ski runs Ahornbergloipe and Ortsloipe have varied views and offer a wonderful view of Seiffen's Toys-Village.
