Kurort Oberwiesenthal
Germany's highest town sits in the Ore Mountains on the Czech border, making Kurort Oberwiesenthal a natural base for skiing and mountain recreation. The area around the Fichtelberg draws visitors year-round, and the village supports a notably dense café and restaurant scene for its size. Olympic ski-jumping gold medallist Jens Weißflog trained here with SC Tractor Oberwiesenthal, and the wider Erzgebirge region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites.
