Schneeberg
Germany, Germany
Schneeberg is a historic mining town of about 16,400 people in Saxony's Erzgebirgskreis district, Germany, located on the Silver Road in the upper western Ore Mountains, 4 km west of Aue and 17 km southeast of Zwickau. Founded around 1470 after silver discoveries that fueled its growth—later yielding cobalt, bismuth, and uranium until 1958—the town centers on the Schneeberg hill at 470 meters amid peaks like Gleesberg (593 m), marked by the prominent St. Wolfgang Church visible from afar. Today it thrives on tourism, showcasing its preserved old town, mining heritage sites, Erzgebirge Christmas crafts, and hiking trails through a landscape shaped by 800 years of extraction, including artificial lakes and Halden hills.
