About this cottage rental
Vacations in the Ore Mountains—for active travelers and those who love to relax!
Discover the Greifenstein area in the beautiful Ore Mountains, part of the Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří mining region!
Here—between Chemnitz and Annaberg-Buchholz—lies the picturesque little town of Thum.
Shaped by mining, traditions such as the grand miners’ parade on the first Sunday of Advent still bear witness to the region’s eventful history. During the Advent and Christmas seasons, houses and streets are festively decorated.
There’s plenty to discover for active vacationers and those seeking leisurely enjoyment alike. During the cold season, the low mountain range becomes a must-visit destination for winter sports enthusiasts, with numerous ski slopes offering plenty of fun for young and old alike. The highest-altitude town, the spa resort of Oberwiesenthal, is easily accessible by public bus.
Away from the slopes, you can watch small wooden works of art being created in demonstration workshops or explore the mountain town of Annaberg-Buchholz, for example.
As temperatures rise, the natural beauty of “Miriquidi”—as this densely forested region was once called—invites you to explore it on well-maintained hiking trails or to follow in the footsteps of miners deep underground (for example, in neighboring Ehrenfriedersdorf).
Those interested can look forward to visiting Scharfenstein Castle, Augustusburg, or Wolkenstein Palace.
Those looking for a more leisurely pace will find an oasis of relaxation at the Silber-Therme in the Warmbad thermal spa (home to the warmest thermal spring in Saxony’s oldest spa town) or at the Therme Miriquidi in the spa town of Wiesenbad.
Music lovers should check out the Thumer Musikfest Dreiklang, the Musikfest Erzgebirge, and various small summer concerts held in different churches. The theater in Annaberg and the Greifensteine Open-Air Stage also offer cultural variety.
The Zeiss Planetarium in Drebach invites all stargazers to events that take place regardless of the weather. For narrow-gauge railway enthusiasts, the Pressnitztalbahn and Fichtelbergbahn are highly recommended.
Our small vacation home, “Alte Schmiede,” is located close to the town center on a quiet side street; there’s a bakery just a few houses down, and the main street—with additional shopping options—is just a few minutes’ walk away.
On the first floor, an anvil, a blacksmith’s hammer, and tools still bear witness to the building’s past as a blacksmith’s shop.
The vacation rental is located on the upper floor.
The brightly furnished duplex apartment invites you to relax after an eventful day in the Ore Mountains. The restored ceiling beams, combined with tastefully selected solid wood furniture, exude rustic charm.
The cozy apartment is equipped with a modern kitchen.
Wi-Fi is available; there is no TV.
If you’d like, you can wind down the evening under the open sky on the outdoor balcony.
A double box-spring bed ensures a comfortable night’s sleep, and the small bathroom features both a shower and a bathtub.
Our guests also have access to a wood-burning stove on the lower floor (please use only by prior arrangement) and an infrared sauna.
Whether it’s a short getaway or a longer vacation, we look forward to welcoming you to the Ore Mountains!
