 Seiffen Nook  

The Seiffen Nook

The region around the famous Toy Village Seiffen is an outstanding nice place. The charming mountain landscape is dominated by the peaks of Schwartenberg and Ahornberg. Below them scattered farmsteads and pretty villages are dreaming on blooming meadows. The baroque rotund church in Seiffen and the renaissance castle Purschenstein in Neuhausen are particular pearls of architecture. Seiffen is the centre of the Ore mountains folk art. The filigree handicraft is handed over from generation to generation until today. Just have a look across the shoulder of one of the master craftmen.

The Panoramic route

This panoramic route lives up to it´s name. But, to enjoy the plenty of panoramic views you must pedal quite a lot, 650 m ascent in total. Who has still more power, shouldn´t miss a side trip to the Schwartenberg with a gorgeous panoramic view and a nice chalet.

The route isn´t marked, but runs solely on marked hiking trails and scarcely frequented minor roads.
